Bird photography isn’t something I excel at. No long lenses, no patience. But today, just so I can join in three whole challenges listed below, I offer you seven images. Not seven birds, please note. Just seven images.
My feature photo is of an egret and a heron studiously ignoring one another at our local nature reserve.
And my next is of a herring gull. Doubtless it’s a mug shot of him taken at the police station, as he helps police with their enquiries over the matter of the fish and chips snatched from a blameless pensioner eating his take-away fish dinner on the seafront.
The next two are familiar local residents: a robin posing for a Christmas card: and a house sparrow in reflective mood.
Back to the seaside. To the Farne Islands. Here is a puffin stretching his wings: and an irritated Arctic tern objecting to my possibly disturbing his young.
We’ll end where we (nearly) began: with two birds – cormorants in this case, ignoring one another at another local nature reserve.
For Becky’s Seven for September.
And Leanne and Elke‘s Monochrome Madness #16.
And IJ Khanewala’s Bird of the Week.
