What's Buzzing or Flying near you today... 2015

silly Owl

 

Winter Waders this morning at Holes Bay (Poole Harbour). Although the tide was out there was some water in one of the channels so some birds were nearer than I expected and after a wait this solitary Spoonbill came towards me as it fed, accompanied at first by an Egret.


I'm off!






Curlew (for Jenny )


Common Redshank.


Spotted Redshank, larger and longer legs and eye stripe.


I almost missed this little Common Sandpiper, normally in Africa but this one obviously likes our Winter.

 

Thank you for the photo shoot today Strongy - especially my Curlew...

nice shot, i've got a Kingfisher as well, but i can't get a picture but i'm watching all the time to try and get a picture, i know where he/she sits but as you go to take a pic he/she flys off

 

Thanks guys, it was a special moment, I've never been that close in all my life. I think he was seriously hungry, he was not moving a muscle, for over an hour, just watching the water surface like a hawk. Must be a really hard time of year for these beauties, particularly when water freezes over.

 

Lovely shot Yvonne. I think we all love to see a Kingfisher, a rare occurrence and they're such pretty birds.

 

Fantastic shots everyone
