Here’s another Puffin from last Sunday’s Skomer trip. This one is demonstrating how these birds can fly despite having wings that don’t look big enough: jetpacks. Puffin-sized, invisible jetpacks. The secret is out. 😉

The look of love. 🥰 A pair of Puffins on Skomer Island gazing into each other's eyes.*

* Or engaged in a staring contest and waiting to see who will blink first. 😉

He’s got his (red) eye on me! A male Common Pochard (Aythya ferina), at RSPB Ham Wall last month. Fewer than a thousand pairs of these omnivorous diving ducks breed in the UK, but the wintering population can be as high as 30,000 birds.

A Eurasian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) at RSPB Middleton Lakes last month, near to where I watched a singing Sedge #Warbler earlier the same day. Both birds, uncharacteristically, perched where I could photograph them, although this one did keep his head behind that reed stem most of the time!

On Friday I watched a Little Grebe busily finding food (mostly Mayflies) for the last of his chicks. Frustratingly, the little Little Grebe was spending most of his or her time on the far side of the pool. Eventually a closer approach was made and I managed to capture the food pass on camera a few times.

A marvellous Marsh Tit, photographed at Brandon Marsh towards the end of January. Though not as colourful as their relatives the Blue and Great Tits, these little birds are just as cute and are always a joy to see.

From one of my outings (which were few and far between) earlier this year: One of a pair of Nuthatches who came to claim their share of the Sunflower seeds at Brandon Marsh. The background colour, complementing the bird’s chest and belly, is provided by a sunlit reedbed in the near distance.

[To the tune of He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands] WE’VE GOT A WAGTAIL, ON THE TUBE!

This little chap was an absolute model passenger, nodding to everyone and dapper, and quietly munching away on some bread, no music, no touching. Then he shat on the carriage floor and ruined everything.

Nice to get out with the camera again, after an extended break.

According to my research, the Great Bustard was still pretty well recorded in Britain 250-500 years ago. It was hunted to extinction in the nineteenth century, but has since been reintroduced in Wiltshire.
I wonder if all the birds in the eastern Fen counties got soggy bums! - I don't think they are very waterproof birds! 😹​🦃

This weekend's photo is of a Long Tailed Tit collecting nesting material. These are such small birds to photograph. I really like their colours. I have also updated my website's Long Tailed Tit Photo Gallery with other photos of this great little bird.
