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.

My Photographs for week ending 23 August 2015.

An exercise in a trial of alternative presentations of Blackbirds.

Four images of the Red-footed Falcon at Willow Tree Fen NR 19.08.2015. It's unfortunate that his back was towards me and head in the shadow but at least I got to see this rarity and grab a few shots in the 55 seconds he was perched nearby.

I asked the Grey Heron at Fiskerton Fen N.R. to show me some different poses.

Eating peanuts and sunflower-hearts makes the mouth dry.

My Photograph Gallery for week ending 2 August 2015

Great Tit.

They might not be the prettiest, or most colourful, of some birds but Gulls have a sleek, handsome look that gives an air of being aloof and arrogant. Black-headed Gull.

Blackbird chilling out.

A Little Egret alone with its shadow.

 Starlings are head and shoulders above other birds for audacity.
