Can't believe I hadn't seen this thread before, I photograph birds (and other animals) in my spare time. Over the summer I've mostly shot kingfishers, as they live quite close to my home.

Here's a young female, looking around for any predators.


This is her last week, landing on a branch.


In the winter I'll probably focus on owls, buzzards, marsh harriers and kestrels. I'm still hoping to get a shot of a hawk to honour my name

They are beautiful photos, Fire Hawk.

Nice to see this thread on page 1

Great shots Fire Hawk!

A few pages back I posted about a kingfisher I'd seen. following on from that a guy who lives next to the pond says they were breeding on the river up past his house (I had hoped they might have been), but that there were mink present


Heard a Hobby calling a few nights in local wood same as I've seen/heard them before.

Buzzards everyday odd sparrowhawk kestrel hear Owls calling now and again

had fox in the garden last week attacked my brothers hens silly things roost outside on top of the hen hut instead of going inside... so if fox comes before he goes puts them in...

oh plenty of house martins this evening assuming they're on the way south as we don't see that many during the summer.

Turned my swift box off no interest this year but I'll be ready next year!

Had various birds eat right out of my hand, chickadee (easy), cardinals (took some patience and safflower seeds), and nuthatch (a real challenge).
