I have just added 20 shots of these to my website. These were taken last year and hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will have a good number of new ones to add, along with Redstart and Wood Warbler. It has been quite a few years since I did these woodland species properly, so fingers crossed.
It's always nice to photograph the winter Thrushes we get in the UK. Both Redwings and Fieldfares are lovely birds. Here's a few shots from last week of the Redwings.
We have had a few Snow Buntings in the coast locally for the last month or two. A group of five at one location and a single bird at another. I decided to go and have a look at the lone bird as it would be in better light. I arrived and could immediately see it perched on top of the rocks in some lovely late afternoon light. A few shots and 15 minutes later it flew high into the sky and disappeared into the distance. It has returned in the days since so I think it probably goes elsewhere to roost.
It has been some time since I photographed one of these lovely approachable birds. I'll maybe go and check out the group of five before winter is over.
As the light improves and with a good deal of sunshine I have been making the most of it with more photography in the garden, here's a few more from the last couple of days.
