Someone stole my Sunshine.

Well the weather has really turned in the last couple of weeks and Autumn is well and truly with us. The sun has been replaced by wind and rain. The evenings are drawing in and this makes me sad. It means I can't get out after work with the camera, and so it's a long wait for the weekend and then praying that it is dry and sunny.
A few weeks back; when we were still enjoying good sunshine, I visited Pennington Flash and Elton Reservoir. Plenty of birds were around and lots of them seemed to perform nicely for me. Hurry up the Spring please!

Lapwing enjoying the warm sun.

A Grey Wagtail having a little skip and a jump.


Kingfisher also soaking up the sun.

A Sedge Warbler do its best to give me a rubbish short by hiding behind the twigs.

  2. I feel your pain. Not been out at all this week after work and the situation isn't likely to improve until spring. Nice shots.

  4. I've never seen the sheen on a Lapwing. I think you may be the first to capture this bird with all the wonderful color in the wings. Great day birding!

  9. An excellent selection Adam.
    It will soon be time to wrap up against the elements ... just think of all those Geese and Swans arriving here from the arctic regions.

  16. Don't wish your life away just yet Adam. There are lots of sunny, crisp winter days to come yet.

    A great Kingfisher picture. Really homes in on that beautiful rump they have, often hidden from view.
