Robin

A few from the garden today. Decided to try a perch for the Robin and he/she took to it pretty much straight away. The Turtle dove did put in a brief appearance, but quickly wandered off over the other side of the lawn.

These last two were a little too centrally composed, so I’ve cropped off one side, and added the same amount to the other to correct this.

The last is my fav from the session, he’s such a poser! I really like shooting in overcast conditions like this, as it really brings out the detail. But a little more brightness would have been good so I could get just a little more depth of field, and perhaps a bit of ‘sparkle’.

  • North Norfolk

    Arrived at the North Norfolk coast just before sunrise yesterday, and although it started out cloudy, it turned into a beautiful day. I was pleased to find this very obliging Redshank, as they are normally very shy birds. This individual often came too close to focus on and was very busy feeding, which presented a…

  • Roe deer day

    Beautiful morning out on the fen today. I love this place in the winter, the sparking white blue of the frost contrasts with the golden morning sun on the reeds, always stunning to see. It wasn’t long before I came across lots of Fieldfares, and a trio of Roe deer grazing in the field adjacent…
