You've been getting some good shots lately, I've never had a camera with me when coming across a feeding raptor. Most just seem to give you a look that says "piss off I'm eating", and carry on with their meal.

Thanks. Only just saw this post for some reason. Yes have been able to get the camera out a bit each day and luck will have it. 👍

Meadow Pipit taking a dip.

I do have a soft spot for these birds.

Superb shots crystal clear.

Yes mate good shout, Juvenille Cormorant. It kept coming to the pond everyday for a couple of weeks, haven't seen it recently though. I guess it got bored of the fish in there.

Great images above, @AJStreesvery jealous of that Spotted Flycatcher - like Rocking Horse S%$£ around here now and most other places.

Cheers mate. To be fair this is the first year I’ve seen them. Thought they were a myth before this summer.

Thanks, it is one of my favorite lurking spots on the estuary, something is usually happening, especially on a falling tide.

Doesn't always go to plan though. This Rock Pipit kept flying onto the floating fence post, so when I saw it coming in again I pre-focused on the post to get a shot of it landing. Bloody thing decided to land on the vegetation! Hey Ho, can't win 'em all.
