Fieldfare etc

Here are a few images from one day last week at Burdon Moor. You will know what they are when you see them (I'm being lazy). I have said it before and no doubt, I will say it again “I take far too many pictures”

Afternoon Out

A couple of hours out this afternoon trying out my newly repaired D500. It seems to be working o.k.

Mallards always sound as though they are laughing.

Same bird but upside down having a bath.

Male GSW




A different male GSW this one was chased off by the one above.

This is the first time I have seen a Kingfisher at this site in years.

Kingfishers must be deaf

The reason I say that is I was in a hide the other day and the noise from the other two lads in there was unbelievable. They were getting louder and more and more excited as the Kingfisher came closer. How it came as close as it did I do not know but I am pleased it did. It was either deaf or it just did not care. I may be wrong but there seems to be a different breed of wildlife enthusiast coming through now who do not have a clue how to behave when they have binoculars or cameras around their necks. People who know me reckon I am loud but I hope I know how to behave when I am out with my camera. Anyway enough of my rant here are a few of the images I took.
