Dunlin, Farmoor
4 May 2013
On the causeway but for some strange reason this shot doesn't
look to have been taken from well above (which it was).
The birds in this group were tamer than the one with the
Sanderling. |

Sanderling, Farmoor
4 May 2013
Briefly on the boat launch ramp before the boaters moved in.
This allows low angle shots without any apparent concrete!

White Wagtail, Farmoor
13 April 2013
Some summer migrants at last, but most were well out of photo
range. This wagtail posed very briefly early on when the sun was
out, and the disturbance wasn't too bad. |

Reed Bunting, Pinkhill
23 March 2013
A cold bird on a freezing day! Will this arctic spell ever end?

Rock Pipit, Farmoor
23 March 2013

sunshine!!
