What a cool looking duck

Cheeky side eye from a female Kestrel yesterday moments after she was attacked by Crows.

I saw the whole thing, maybe that’s why I got side eyed, ha.

Thanks so much 🥰

Awesome isn’t it!

Thank you. 🥰

Thanks Dave! Dipped into the shadows so paid the price a little bit so worth it 🥰🥰

Small, compact white heron with relatively short yellow bill. More frequently seen in dry habitats than other egrets. In breeding season, look for pale salmon color on head and breast and brighter bill. Leg color varies from reddish or yellow during the breeding season to black during the nonbreeding season. Juveniles have dark bill. Always note relatively short, thick neck and short legs compared with other egrets. Often gathers in flocks, frequently following cattle and other large grazers.

Grey Wagtail catching their lunch

Absolutely love this set from Kearsney Abbey last week. Never had action photos of a Wagtail before and now I have 4!

Rockhopper Penguin 🐧

Looooove the way these little guys look and a bonus seeing Mr. Lovelace in the flesh! 🤪

Spontaneous trip to @whipsnadezoo.bsky.social last week!

This is Miron, the Amur Tiger. My first time meeting him and goodness me, what a beauty he is.

Very chuffed with his portrait and I even got a chuff back, how sweet. 🥰

Thank you 🥰

Once my health is more stsvle, I’ll be back to socials a lot more often. Thank you for your comment. That is really kind. Take care too 🥰

Other than the usual battling with health drama,
I’ve had quite the month. Including a trip to Brands Hatch with a good friend of mine. Always fun to shoot cars!!

Here’s my favourite 4 (:

Thank you Dave. I was panicking thinking I screwed it up aha

Thanks so much Dave 🥰

Thanks Jacquie. Not doing bad but less time on socials. Hope you’re well too!

A breeding pair of Black Redstarts rocked up in my town this week and it made my day watching them dart around together.

Never seen one before and made a slow month worth it 🥰

Early morning Yoga lessons with this little Moorhen chick. Only a few days old and already best in class. 🥰 🐥

Raven 🐦‍⬛

Had a remarkable encounter with a Wild Raven this weekend with my mum! He was nice enough to do a full 360 fly by!

First photo is not cropped. Generally how close he was in my frame! Epicccc.

I’ll never get Swallow photos in flight like you do, but everytime I see one of yours, it makes me try 🤣. They’ll be arriving soon. I can’t wait 😍

A small swallow with blue upperparts, chestnut forecrown, and throat with a narrow incomplete dark breast band and gray underparts. Singles, pairs and groups are residents and intra-African migrants to open grassland, cultivation, and wetland fringes. Barn Swallow is similar to Angola but is larger with much longer outer tail feathers, broader complete breast band and white underparts.

A bird skulking inside the lower branches of a bush. It has a beautiful brown capped head, whilst the rest of the bird is completely grey. Several small branches criss-cross in front of the bird, partially obscuring it.

Been a crazy busy week already & it's only Monday.
Whilst trying to catch Cetti's Warblers last week, I discovered a tribe of Blackcaps, also skulking inside the bushes.
This is the best image I managed to capture of a female, they have brown caps!
Have a good week all! #birds #stickhapens

Amazing spot Dave!! I’ve only seen a female on a handful of occasions and she was in my garden!
