Redwing in my garden... January

Tall duck and handsome...Shakerley Mere.

Sandwich Tern.... Cemlyn Bay Anglesey.
Oystercatcher...
...and Herring Gull.
All taken in Anglesey during June.
wow, just breathtaking views of the most pretty birds. not sure which is my favorite. (:
ReplyDeletelovely assortment of photographs Andrew. The sandwich tern (does this relate to a location or what we eat? :)) ... looks very similar to the what I thought was a piper seen yesterday. Interesting to see your own pied oyster-catcher too. Always enjoy learning we do have some bird types the same. Still wish I had your robins though, just somewhere near.
ReplyDeletethese are all great - the tall, proud mallard hen is too cute! but i loved the wood pidgeon (hoover)! too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, love all of them!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the wood pidgeon.
Hard to pick a favorite. I like the bowtide and wake the Mute Swan is making. I'll go with that one.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful concept of the first months up to June.
ReplyDeleteFotografias maravilhosas com destaque para a segunda dessa série, um pombo bebendo água... nunca vi uma imagem dessas... simplesmente maravilhosa.
ReplyDeleteSérie muito bem escolhida.
Tudo de bom!
Beijinhos.

Wow, gorgeous birds and photos, Andrew! It is too hard to pick a favorite. I love them all. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but 'Tall Duck' is really special:)
ReplyDeleteYour lovely birds are inspiring me to try out some bird photography. I have done a few, but see I have a long way to go. I live in Texas, and not too far of a distance to a bird sactuary on the coast, the gulf of Mexico, and think I will go there in the spring to find some seabirds. What sort of lens do you prefer for these shots? My largest is a 70/200. Would that be adequate, or do you need a 500? Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAndrew - I'm back - hope you had a nice Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures there - one is better than the other.
Each time I look at those pictures I think about God and the magnificent joy he gives us threw his beauty.
I like the one that has swooped down and gotten to his dinner.
Happy New Year.
