Finally managed a decent reflection shot of this pair of #OysterCatchers on our recent visit to #Northumberland

Well, if you can't #bribe a #cheeky #jackdaw to #pose for you by sharing a bit of your #sandwich, what's the point. Looked like he was missing a few #tail #feathers; so many of them in one area, there's clearly a lot of jostling goes on. #corvid #birdphotography

Amazing image @harry_fosters. The focus in the predatory birds eye... Yikes!

Another young bird going to get a big shock as boss-man Grackle comes in to upset the apple cart, as only he can.😬 #birdphotography #NaturePhotography #wildlife

The only reasonably clear shot I managed of #Cornish #Chough this year. They were so much closer last year, when I didn't have camera; practically landed in front of us at one point. But at least we found them on the same stretch of #coastline (same field, actually). #corvid

This family of #rockpipits were so much fun to watch as they chased and bickered in the early evening. #coastal #birdphotography

This #commonsandpiper which I've heard is not so common, tested the very limits of my long range lens at an #estuary. #waterbirds #reflections #wader

Excited to share some shots after a week away on the southwest coast in the UK.
This one made me chuckle, and too good an opportunity to pass up. #selfexplanatory #gull #seaside #lifeboathouse #coast

@pvt_ak Lost so much to slugs this year: gherkins, peppers, squash, courgette, cucumbers. The biodegradable woolen slug pellets we normally use seem ineffective. We've grown better in the garden planters, with our resident frogs eating any that get too close.

Guess who was chasing #butterflies? I think this is a #Ringlet, but please feel to correct me if not, they're not one of my strengths. I was chasing these around a while to get some decent shots - could even be two different varieties. But I love their velvety brown #wings

Visited #SherwoodForest today; what a treat! Not many birds to be seen in the dense canopy, but peace and greenery in abundance. There is a #BeeTree in the forest that you can visit, but we stumbled across another natural #beehive in an old #oak deeper in the forest. #bees

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

Almost nearly, but not quite managed to capture this #commontern as he dove into the #lake. Still, not bad action shots from these graceful #aerialacrobatics. #birdphotography

#Damselfly, resting around the #LakeShow #insectphotography #nature #wildlife #ecosystems

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

@DiaryCrow Beautiful face; such focus and intelligence. What an amazing capture.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

Camera question, does any find the continuous shooting mode on their #camera (also called sports mode), loses clarity and definition of the subject. I had this #goldfinch in perfect clarity through the lens, but was so disappointed when I uploaded the shots.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

#juvenille #longtailedtit These tiny birds move so fast. I'm so pleased I managed to get some pictures.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

Love this little #bullfinch, sitting like a little puff ball on a branch.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

I adore #swans. Watching the #cygnets explore the #lake and then take themselves of for a snooze on dry land was a joy. I was particularly pleased to get this #reflection shot.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

This is the same shot of a #greywagtail. I love the broader image as the setting on the #lake is wonderful, however, I just had to see what the snack was, and I believe it was a #damselfly. #Tasty These are #fast little #birds, so pleased I managed to get a #picture.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

Lunch time for the #moorhens. They are the most wonderful parents. One of the more modest of UK #waterbirds.

[ALLShorts Photography @AllshortsP]

Finally, after rubbish #weather, and being under the weather, we made it out! Spot the #squirrel!
It was only his noisy eating, and the dark pine cone that gave him away, otherwise, completely #camouflaged!
