Harrier Hawk on the move..
I was lucky enough to be invited along to a 'hidden' spot where these birds regularly feed. Fantastic to see them..

I got such a lovely response to the Belted Kingfisher photo I posted, a few days ago, that I wanted to post a short video I recorded of her. She looked right at me!

Two tall cypress trees rise from calm water, reflected beneath a pastel sunrise sky.

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine roots—nest material so large it partly hides its face—suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.

Good morning. For the alt of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders I’m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
