A few more shots from my day in a wet hide on a wet day watching wet birds! Kicking off with my favourite, again mainly because it's a greenfinch. They're priceless birds that look thoroughly pissed off at the best of times, throw in a downpour and it's a match made in heaven!

The weather should be perking up for the next few days so I'm going to be on a barn owl quest - before I become known as a 'bird on a stick' photographer! After much searching I think I've found out where my local barnie roosts for the day. When I found it the other evening I stayed to watched him quartering the neighbouring fields when I heard a familiar bird call coming from just behind me. It couldn't be, could it? I turned around and there, perched on the upright branch of a fallen tree, was a kingfisher!
It flew off along a shallow dyke that looks like an ideal nesting site and there's some fishing lakes about 500yds away. All very promising. Watch this space!
Really nice stuff simon, Really really sharp! That is nuts that you can see barn owl and kingfisher at the same time. If you get them both in the same shot it would be epic, hahahah.
ReplyDeleteCheers Sam. That would be some shot but I'm happy with either on their own to be honest!
