  • A rest day from running, what else to do but walk and bird 🙂 Eurasian Blackbird Female blackbird Common Chaffinch These are apparently uncommon now, I guess due to autumn migrations. This is a non-breeding male, which apparently do not migrate outside of their breeding grounds. Female Mallard Nala Disgruntled at my excessive amount of…

  • Recent birbs

    Tis sometime since I posted, and thus I have plenty of photos. Magpie See these so often and often ignore them, but this is perhaps not fair. They are pretty birds, and apparently one of the most intelligent in the world. Kingfisher at the natural history museum + kunsthal display Pidgeons hello there Blue Tits…

  • It has been a busy time for me, filled mainly with socialising (my worst fear), and so I have not had a lot of time for birding. Great tit Only a rearview shot of this little guy Lesser Black-backed Gull Eurasian Blackbird A very blurry photo. It was quite raining, and this wee bugger was…

  • The last few days have been filled with hobbying for me. Both birding and miniature painting. Here are some of the birds. Great tit Perched on the tree outside my house Grey Heron Family of Egyptian Geese I hate that my nemesis may breed, but I must admit, their ducklings are very cute Eurasian Blue…

  • Long-tailed Tit Took me a while to identify as the most common species of Long-Tailed Tit look quite different (white faces). This seems to be the A. c. europaeus from the europaeus group (which contains like 9 subspecies??) and is common to western Europe. Which seems to be found in these locations normally. (I have no…

Those without red are likely…

    Birds are hard to see, who’d have thunk it. European Robins My first attempt at capturing a robin. I quickly learned they move, and fall out of view, very quickly According to Merlin, these things are uncommon, but I heard them constantly, heard being the operative word. Now a game of spot the robin: I…

  • Around the park and back again

    A lunch break walk with Nala, a very light rain following use throughout. The Egyptian Goose, my nemesis I believe these guys generally congregate in families, of which I believe there to be several living around my local pond. Juvenile Eurasian Moorhen A couple of Great Cormorants It turns out my friend is not a…

  • Concrete park

    I arrived home from the office. The dog, of course, needed a walk. Her proficiency with the bike has improved recently, so we went for a cycle instead. We passed through the local park on the way back. Grey heron and some Greylags (and a Nala) A Cormorant, and some others They are a regular…
