Hotel California

Some great views of Anna's and Allen's Hummingbirds at the Hotel Hilton Garden Inn, El Segundo, LA.

Happy Family

Fourteen newly hatched young.

Midsummer Madness

Certainly wasn't expecting this little beauty on midsummer's day ! On the shingle behind Arnold's Marsh at Cley.

Nightjar @ RSPB Lodge

First experience at this range.

Seven Swans a-Swimming

Seven cygnets on the wash out pool, Willington

Woodies

They should be called Wood Tremblers.

Pied Fly

Lovely birds. Peak district on Sunday.

Spring Birding

Twenty degrees on the east coast today and the Bitterns were booming.

Mirror Images

Early morning light on the east coast.

Parti-coloured Bat

A mega rarity this one apparently. Taken into rehab after being found at the Royal Free Hospital in London.

Three Little Beauties

Cracking birds these. Very skittish due to the bank holiday weekend activities at Willen lake but also very obliging for the camera as they kept to the eastern shore.

Cock Linnet - take 2

Better than last time.

Beardie

Cock Linnet

A wander up Wood Lane this evening produced 18 Linnets, a Corn Bunting, a pair of GSWoodpeckers in cop and two rattling Lesser Whitethroats. Unlike other years I am seeing Lesser's but so far not many Common's.
