Chaz's first album

A variety of birds and places

cirl bunting female. Part of a family group seen in the hedgerows and taking seed on the ground near Prawle Point in South Devon.

cirl bunting male. These birds were new to us ("lifers").

garden nuthatch 1
a couple of poor quality snaps, but I was so pleased to see a nuthatch in our garden I just wanted to record it.

garden nuthatch 2
The light was so poor (8AM - light rain) that I had to turn up the ISO on the Nikon to 1600 to get these.

little stints
And you thought dunlin are small, these are tiny. Seen on one of the freshwater scrapes at Titchfield Haven in Hampshire. These are...

redstart 3
the female was a bit wary when I first appeared and perched at several different places on the dead tree before relaxing a little and...

long tailed tit
We have bird feeders in the small tree at the bottom of our garden. They are a magnet for several of the more common species. Trying...

raven
On the shore at Pennington Marsh, possibly on a day trip from Tennyson Down on the Isle of Wight where the birds breed.

grey phalarope 2
A little sweety and so tame. Myself and another bloke were standing on the sloping concrete edging of Farmoor Reservoir, taking...

redstart 8
The male has just arrived at the "front door" of the nest. The nest itself is apparently in the hollow branch to the left of the square...

redstart 6
The male perched above the "back door" to the nest. The branch is hollow and, although the birds were entering through a large square...

redstart 1
One of my first pictures of the male redstart, before I realised that the nest was just above my head.

redstart 2
Female bird feeding young, near Shatterford in The New Forest.

teal

nuthatch
A really tricky bird to photograph. All the other pictures I took were blurred by the rapid movements of the bird.

chiffchaff
Itchen Valley in March. A few chiffchaffs overwinter in the area, and can be heard singing very early in the year.

young mistle thrush
Hanging around long enough to get his picture taken - typical naive behaviour of a young bird.

Hertford mallard f
The other half! On the River Lea in Hertford. It's easy to take mallards for granted but they really are beautiful birds.

Hertford mallard
This was a test shot for a newly acquired Nikon VR lens. Suffice it to say I'm happy with it.

bittern 3
I tried several times to get a photo of the bittern with a fish, eventually I switched the camera to multiple exposures and got this.

bittern 2
The closest I got to a snap of the classic bittern pose.

bittern 1
Wow, when it first appeared there were just a few people in the Minsmere hide.....after 90 minutes you couldn't move. But outside the...

flying bittern
Bird watching doesn't get much better than the bittern-fest we were treated to in Suffolk in April this year.
