My favourite little blue bird 🐦🪶

Somewhere in this mess is a bird. One I was very happy to find. 😆 #bird 🪶

As of yet, this morning's been pretty successful

Cheeky little Swallow captured a few weeks back on a local reservoir. They're little rockets, this particular individual was frequently flying between some nearby fields then back over a patch of reeds alongside the reservoir. I just managed to get a shot as it was on a return run to the water. 🐦🪶

Swallow, yellow Wagtail, OSPREY.... & a curious orange bird too... All feature in this week's episode 😎 #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

I Found Something Cool At A Reservoir - Bird Photography

Proud to be part of the Ladywalk team who were all amazing!

Many thanks to the 18 sites who took part in Saturday's West Midlands All-Day Birdwatch. The previous record of 104 species was broken twice: 106 at Brandon & 111 at Blithfield. An odd day with several sites noting their highest ever totals & others their lowest #WestMidsAllDayer

Early start at the West Midlands All Dayer, few of my highlights included marsh harrier, sedge warbler & my first Kingfisher of the year. (Cant believe it took me till September to see one). Some unbelievable sightings logged by the team already, cant wait to see what we finish on! #Ladywalknr 🪶

My new video has just gone live! I spent the day photographing swallows fly above the beach and I may have soaked my lens... Swings and roundabouts 🤣🪶

Always trying to head out to new areas to experience new species.... Because I suck at identifying at birds 🤣

Well, it was an interesting day. #oops

On a quest to find some cool birds! 🪶🐦

Puffins are absolute speedy little rockets. These were captured earlier this year at Bempton Cliffs as they flew over the ocean before returning back to the cliff face 🐦🪶🌊

How can you not love Spoonbill? Big white waders with their signature long wide bills. This was the first time I'd ever seen them feeding, gliding their bills through the water, grabbing their prey before flicking it into their mouths. 🪶 #birdphotography #nature

It's that time of the week again! 🪶 Went to a reserve to see some awesome Bearded Reedlings but I ended up seeing so much more 😄😀🐦‍⬛

I love the Summer... But I cant do the heat. I melt and burn. 🫠 Bring on the winter, if Im too cold I can throw on another layer and get on with my day. It also means you can get photos like these featuring beautiful frost covered scenery, allowing your subject to pop from the background ❄️🪶

Several weeks back I went for a walk in the woods and stumbled across a very cool bird. Not a species I had ever seen before but one I was absolutely delighted to see!

Hungry? #naturePhotography #birdphotography 🪶

Recently went on a walk in hopes of finding Redstart (may have found one 😜) but ended up photographing these awesome Swallow as they flew low above the ground hunting for insects 🪶📸🐦‍⬛

The beauty of the common tern. ❤️ During the Summer months you'll find them gracefully gliding over bodies of water in search of food but the real fun starts when they start flying together, putting on displays in the sky. 🪶

Not going to lie to you - I think I heard Turtledoves. Pretty gosh darn sweet one if you ask me! 🪶 #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

Putting My Ears To The Test - Exploring A New Bird Photography Location

How many birds do you reckon there are? 😄🪶🐦‍⬛ ...also let me know if you spot anything cool in there 😛😜😎

The first time I ever saw Brent Geese was on Anglesey, chilling on a beach feeding amongst the rocks. But whilst in Norfolk I finally saw them in numbers. Its the metalhead in me, loving anything dark but I love how these look: dark bodies, slightly grey wings & white on their necks for contrast.

One from the archives, a tawny owlet in the forest. Embarrassingly I was walking down a path when I first spotted the bird but mistakenly thought it was just a child's toy left atop a post. I did a double take only then realising what I was actually looking at. Not my smartest moment. 🤣 🪶 #owl

A real underrated bird in my opinion (can birds even be underrated?) the Fulmar. I love how angular they are and the fact they defend themselves by vomiting an oily substance... cool stuff! #birdphotography #naturephotography

Gannets are big beautiful seabirds who make their home on the side of cliffs, going out to sea to hunt and feed. 🪶 You can find thousands of them at RSPB Bempton Cliffs which has one of the largest (if not the largest) gatherings of gannets on the mainland. See them all here: youtu.be/T6oZ4h022Jo

My yearly trip to Bempton Cliffs is one of my favourites! How can you not love the puffins? But a real underated species; the fulmar are stunning. Anyway, all that and more in my latest episode 😎🪶 #BemptonCliffs #UKWildlife #NaturePhotography

There's nothing like going to a new location with absolutely no expectations and walking away with a lifer! 😄🐦‍⬛🪶 #birdphotography #ukwildlife

Coloeus monedula, otherwise known as the Jackdaw (totally didn't Google that), a beautiful silvery/ blue bird with a distinctive call and a quirky personality. 🪶🐦‍⬛ #ukwildlife #birdphotography #nikon
