  1. Nice Oxfordshire rarity to show up, even better when its on my local patch! Long-Tailed Duck (oddly missing its long tail). Should be at the coast, if indeed found anywhere in the UK, not in the most land locked county.

  2. A juvenile Long-tailed Tit, at Upton Warren last month. The youngster already has the trademark long tail; in time the broad band of brown plumage on each side of the face will become a narrower, black stripe running above the eye, and the pink rim around the eye will become less noticeable. In addition, pinkish hues will develop on the parts of the back and belly.

  3. 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. 😉

  8. A grounded Manx Shearwater who either misjudged their landing, or tried returning to their burrow on Skomer Island (to feed their young) during daylight hours and was attacked by Gulls. My brother Rob and I took photos, marked the spot, and reported the bird to the island’s volunteer staff.

  13. 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. 😉

  17. Hopping about amongst the Puffins at The Wick on Skomer Island on Sunday was another bird: a female Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe). The name we use for this white-rumped Summer visitor is derived from the Old English words for ‘white’ and ‘arse’!

  22. After my visit to Skomer Island yesterday with my brother @rob_camera I may have just one or two #Puffin photos to share with you. In the same way that this #Skomer Puffin may have just one or two Sand Eels for the hungry young Puffling waiting in a nearby burrow... 😉 😃

  27. 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.

  31. 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!

  33. A male #Pheasant at RSPB Ham Wall at the beginning of May. A stunning bird, but the environmental impact of releasing tens of millions of Pheasants each year for shooting really needs to be addressed (not to mention the ethical issues around using living creatures for recreational target practice). Love Pheasants, loathe killing for ‘sport’.

  34. A European #Goldfinch sucks seeds at the bird feeder. Sorry, what? Ah, my mistake. That should read: A European #Goldfinch succeeds at the bird feeder. 😉

    Photo taken from the window of a holiday cottage the Peak District, where I stayed in April 2024. (The feeder was in the garden of the cottage next door, but perfectly placed for me to enjoy the #birds who visited it.)

  35. “Spider for tea?” I said “No, not for me!”
    So the Robin with barely a frown,
    Quickly did eat its eight-legged treat,
    Which must have tickled on the way down.

    European #Robin with Garden #Spider prey, at RSPB Ham Wall, #Somerset, at the beginning of this month.

  36. Yesterday my brother @rob_camera and I paid our first visit Upton Warren nature reserve in #Worcestershire – here are a few of the #birds I saw and photographed. Our day ended with sightings of another bird, spotted by others in the Avocet Hide, and identified by me - more about that (plus some rubbish pics!) in my reply to this post.

  37. Who’s afraid of the Big Bad . . . Crow? These Cygnets were not happy, that’s for sure. Neither was their Mum, just out of picture, who soon sent the Corvid packing! Photographed at Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, yesterday.

  38. A jaunty #Jackdaw, posing for a photo in May last year. I see (and hear!) these chatty little #Corvids all the time at nearby Fawsley, but they almost always make themselves scarce when I raise my camera. This one, in a Peak District pub car park, was used to the paparazzi. Love their pale blue eyes!
