My visit to the Wirral was very nice and there are always good birds around, but I never neglect the more common species on show that can often get overlooked. These were seen in a mixture of places such as marsh and coast. Here are just a few of them.
Common Redshank in flight.
Common Snipe.
Carrion Crow
Common Gull.
Coot
Female Teal
You are such a skilled photographer you can even make the common crow look majestic
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, like the snipe.
ReplyDeleteSuper flight shot of the crow- great collection of photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, absolutely beautiful photos of such a wonderful array of different birds. All are great, I especially like the 'in flight' and the perfect camouflage of the snipe.
ReplyDeleteThe redshanks have a wonderful pattern on their backs and wings! You miss things like that when you see a bird on the ground.
ReplyDeleteLove the first flight shot. And one of my favorite birds is the Snipe.. Awesome photos and sightings.. Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteLove the action shots ~ yet all your 'feather friends' photos are excellent!
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you.

Your more common birds are definitely not all common around the world. I would really like to see a Redshank! and I think the Snipe is not the one we see out here either - but not sure as I seldom see any at all. All great photos.
ReplyDeleteFab captures :-)
ReplyDeleteNice series. Your bird pix are always wonderful~

Beautiful shots, even more so because they are hard to get.
ReplyDeleteIt's when you don't see any common birds that you know a place is in trouble - rarities are nice, but often just lost!

Beautiful birds, especially the coot.
ReplyDeleteRecently I have become more aware of the common species in my area and remind myself they are NOT COMMON everywhere. :))
ReplyDeletethey're all beautiful. love the flock in flight and the flight shot of the crow, too!
ReplyDeleteLove all the shots however in my neck of the woods (Northern Ireland),the Carrion Crow is not common.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds all of them. I really like the snipe.
ReplyDeleteOh, nothing common about these photos though, they are grand!
ReplyDeleteUncommonly good photos!
ReplyDeletenothing wrong with common :) Usually they are not common everywhere. :) Great selection.
