A nice sunny morning in the wilds of Cheshire had me in search of any migrants I could find. The result was a couple of Redstarts and plenty of Willow Warblers. Otherwise, it was many of the usual birds, but a lot busier than normal. There are mates to be found, territories to be safeguarded and nests to be built.
Great shots......your patience is rewarded!
ReplyDeletePerfection Adam, I love the first one, superb.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your bird shots so much, Adam. Perfect shots.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and especially beautiful against that bright blue sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs as always. I love the nuthatch.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the nuthatch and what beautiful blue skies over Cheshire.
ReplyDeleteGreat series, and it certainly looks like a top-notch place for nest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-bubble-man.html, and I hope you'll join us again next week.
Upside down because you can is always the best way right?
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I love the little blue tit.
ReplyDeleteso stunning against that blue sky
ReplyDeleteI love the Nuthatch, one of my favourite birds and I know they are common to see but I will never tire of seeing a Blue Tit, they are just a beautiful little bird and such character that you have captured so well.
ReplyDeleteWe get nuthatches and I love seeing them dash down the tree trunks in what seems such an unlikely way.
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding more of your beautiful bird pictures to #AnimalTales
The Mother says - Once again, some stunning photos, especially the Blue Tit - that's my favourite :) #animaltales
ReplyDeleteYour birds are wonderful, I love when we are gifted with a rare sighting, as much as the 'regulars!'
