Garden Birds

I have been concentrating on garden birds over the last week, I didn't really photograph any last year and there is always a demand for these type of images. With the sun getting a little higher each day I am now able to have some reasonable sessions in the garden.

Hen Harrier v Short-eared Owl

A trip out this morning in the lovely clear frosty weather let me witness a confrontation between a Hen Harrier and a Short-eared Owl. The owl had managed to catch a vole which the Harrier was trying to steal from it. It didn't succeed and eventually both went their seperate ways. The fighting shots are fairly well cropped so I just picked out some of the best from the sequence. I always considered the harrier to be much larger than the Owl, but these show that they are quite similar in size.

A Quick Session in the Garden

Finally some sunshine! After a fruitless day in North Wales yesterday I decided to photograph some birds in the garden today. It will be another month before the sun is high enough to really give me chance for a good session, but it was great to have some decent light at last.

Siskins

I am always discovering unused images tucked away on my hard drives that I didn't realise I had. I don't think I will ever catch up with the backlog. These Siskin images are a typical example, A file of over 400 of them taken back in 2008.
