My fave picture I took today, was this young female Reed Bunting who had just been handed a Dragonfly by its dad. It sat there with it in the shrub for about 10 mins before deciding to consume it,
I was out today in the fens just outside Cambridge UK, The hedgerows looked like this picture, oh and there is a bird in the picture somewhere for good measure (Sedge Warbler)
Excited to add a tiny lifer to my list today. Took about an hour of following this Alder Flycatcher’s freeBEER call to finally get eyes on it, a rare empid in our area.
An Eastern Kingbird taking a quick break from chasing insects on an old cattail stalk, surrounded by green fronds, at Mass Audubon's Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary.
I hear Skylarks quite often, but they tend to be so high up in the sky I can't see them. So as you can imagine, getting to within a few metres of this one, close to the ground at Stiperstones National Nature Reserve in Shropshire at the end of May, was a very special experience.
Spotted a small bird on top of one of the yellow pipeline markers. Brain scrambles to both tell dad to stop before we scare it and trying frantically to ID it cause we are going to scare it.
It spooks and lands just on the other side of the pipeline ditch.
