Dipper (Cinclus cinclus)

This is not a first, but it is the best I've got. And I am pleased. I have plenty to show you.  I have been after the Dipper for nearly ten years, and now here it is.

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)

I didn't hold the camera very straight, whoops.

Puffin and blowin'

Taken in early June. I have some more......................ha ha ha.

Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula)

Taken in back July, the colours are in eclipse stage.

Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)

Cape Teal (Anas capensis)

 It's not too cold, but there was a large amount of clouds around. And, there isn't any point taking my camera out, and me. Brrrrrrrrr. Here is a Cape Teal, photographed in the middle of September.

Magpie (Pica pica)

With its noisy chattering, black-and-white plumage and long tail, there is nothing else quite like the magpie in the UK. When seen close-up its black plumage takes on an altogether more colourful hue with a purplish-blue iridescent sheen to the wing feathers, and a green gloss to the tail. Magpies seem to be jacks of all trades - scavengers, predators and pest-destroyers, their challenging, almost arrogant attitude has won them few friends. Non-breeding birds will gather together in flocks.

Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)

I went out this morning to find a Cattle Egret, didn't find one. Instead, I got a Meadow Pipit. One day I'll catch one of Egret.

Horses and Foal

A close up Horse and Foal in whole.

Little Owl (Athene noctua)

The dismal day, not so much rain, but dreary.

Blackbird (Turdus merula)

And, another bird eating Hawthorn berries.

Redwing (Turdus iliacus)

A nice day today, and it was a nice birdwatching day.

Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula)

Another bad day, so here are some from my magic bag, thanks Trevor, for reminding me, ha ha.
