Photograph Gallery for week ending 22 November 2015.
This Sparrowhawk tried to get a finch or sparrow snack from our garden. Unfortunately there is a small bokeh effect on its body,
due to a branch of our crab-apple tree getting in the way, but I think
the eye focus is acceptable.
Ladder of Success.
About twelve days ago I published a photograph of a Brambling in my garden and said “this is possibly the last image I will take of one; for some time” – I was wrong!
On the morning of the 18 November this beauty visited us for about four minutes.
'Another Step' — Ladder of Success 2.
'Triumphant Step' — Ladder of Success 3.
[Hand on heart all safety instructions were followed: no squirrel was put at risk.]
If it is Saturday it must be Pasodoble time – strictly should it be Paso Doble. If he saw it, Len would love the swirling cape-work.
'Blue Sky [in your eye]'
"Oh no, not another Grey Squirrel one" the viewers sigh.

Photograph Gallery for week ending 15 November 2015
It's been over two months since I published an image of a Robin here on my weblog. I think that's a long enough gap. So here is one I shot (no
it's still alive) at the beginning of this week.
Green unsociable: Gold hungry.
Goldfinch - Bird in Fight.
Nut takeaway by Blue-tit Express.
Greenfinch angel.
It's Saturday so it's 'Strictly come Flying'. I hope you think it's fab-u-lous and not a dis-a-ster.

My Photograph Gallery for week ending 8 November 2015
An indulgence of another photograph of Spike: it's probably the
last opportunity until Hedgehog wakey-wakey time next spring.
My first photograph of a Brambling. It was taken in my garden on the 3rd November. Quality could be better but struggled with the poor light on a dull, dreary day; and shot through double glazing. I hope it comes back on a sunny day.
Taken through the kitchen window on a grey day.
Greater Flamingo juvenile on a rare dull day in the Murcia Region of Spain.
It had been 48 hours since my first sight of the Brambling in our garden. I must assume it's moved on. I showed you my first photograph of it above and this is possibly the last image I will take of one; for some time.

My Photography Gallery for 2nd half of October 2015
Dunlin ?
Sandpiper (variety ?), Little Stint? or Sanderling in moult. If it helps with identification; taken in Costa Blanca, Spain 06.10.2015. Waders are a difficult type to identify.
Hoopoe.
House Sparrow in our Crabapple tree.
Little Grebe.
One of our regularly visiting Grey Squirrels brightened up a misty, dull and dank day.
Corned beef goes down well with this Hedgehog for building up weight for winter.

My Photograph Gallery for 1st half October 2015.
I don't know what variety/ies the butterfly and caterpillar are but I
like the colour.
I was thinking of a title for the first image of 'Two in One' but then thought perhaps 'After and Before' might be appropriate.
'Sprightly Spaniard'
Greater Flamingo juvenile.
Hoopoe - Upupa epops.
Not as sharp as I'd like but for first images I think they're OK. Gives me something to improve on if I get another chance.
Relaxed Red Squirrel checking the quality of a discarded marble worktop.
The 'Sphodromantis viridis' is smiling.
Spanish 'Fan Dancer' called Garceta Común.

My Photograph Gallery for September 2015.
Double vision - Little Egrets.
'All Clear Behind.' - Blue Tit.
'Follow me: follow me' - Lapwing.
Black-necked Grebe. The first is in breeding plumage and the second I think is non-breeding. You can see the eye markings are different as well as the plumage.
Yellow-legged Gull ?
Greater Flamingo.
Redshank.
My first photograph of a Sardinian Warbler.
I think this is a Kentish Plover, although its legs might be the wrong colour.
It's only a Little Egret but I like the water flow image.
Squacco Heron. A first for me.
