Our Mistle Thrush
25th May 2025
I’m always harping on about how lucky we are to have all the birds we do as garden visitors but, to have a Mistle Thrush drop in on a regular basis is pretty special to me. I’ve added this unedited shot to show what I actually managed to capture, I’m often reacting quickly to an … More Our Mistle Thrush
Penallta Parc
17th May 2025
May 17th we went down to Penallta park for a wander round, see what we might see, we used to visit often, it’s one of those places that can be almost totally empty during week days and busy at the weekends but, it is big enough to absorb large numbers, which is great. Parc Penallta … More Penallta Parc

Red-legged Partridge I have mentioned that we live on a farm, in the country haven’t I? Hence we get Pheasant and Partridge in the garden, which is nice. Both species of Partridge drop in now and again and we see and hear them in the surrounding area quite often, this is not a hunted area! … More Our Garden Visitors (R)
Not a great day of birding
24th Apr 2025
I went out for my patch wander yesterday April 23rd, it wasn’t a great day but I like to get out for a walk at least once a day. It was one of those days when the sun shone it was quite warm, when it didn’t it felt freezing so, I eventually decided a t-shirt … More Not a great day of birding
Finally!
14th Apr 2025
We’ve now lived in this rural location for just over three years and in that time I’ve had so many fabulous photographical experiences. Birds I thought I’d never see, live in our hedges. Raptors I wasn’t aware of can be seen, some yet to be photographed. A pair of White-tailed Eagles flying over my head. … More Finally!
