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 Nuthatch having a feed.
A Sedge Warbler do its best to give me a rubbish short by hiding behind the twigs.
so cute. beautiful colors in the lapwing and kingfisher, too.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Not been out at all this week after work and the situation isn't likely to improve until spring. Nice shots.
ReplyDeletegld you got some sunshine back. Love the gorgeous shots you share. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteVery great shots! I like the action in the photo of the grey wagtail!
ReplyDeleteAll terrific shots of these lovely birds. My favorite is the Kingfisher. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection of birds. I would love to see the Lapwing and the beautiful Kingfisher..The Wagtail is a cute bird. But, then they all are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteAn excellent selection Adam.
ReplyDeleteIt will soon be time to wrap up against the elements ... just think of all those Geese and Swans arriving here from the arctic regions.
Love the lapwing and the skipping wagtail (now that's a neat photo!) All your shots were great. Hope you can get out more soon, with better weather.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful bird pictures, thanks for sharing :)

Nice set of host - I do like the jumping wagtail - their names always make me smile, pied looks grey, grey with its yellow and yellow almost green!
