I was trying to take a photo of a butterfly when this dude scampered across the pathway in front of me - Ring-necked Pheasant

On this afternoons walk, we mainly encountered Robins, so Robins it will have to be. But when they pose so well for you, how can you not oblige with a photo....

Saw loads of these this afternoon

Eurasian Green Winged Teal

This bird looks like it has a superhero suit on, that black stripe between the yellow feathers. It is a Great Tit, but what would its superhero name be.

My favourite photo I took today was of a common bird, but its position in the tree with the sun behind it trying to pierce the tree canopy behind really helps with the overall image.

Blackbird

Okay, time for the fluffiest borb of them all, the floof master itself, the Long-tailed tit.

Saw this small plane fly overhead today, found it bizarre that they couldn't be arsed to close the door properly...

It's been an interesting year, some great wildlife experiences set against a couple of health scares that have limited my time outside (especially lately). However, I've enjoyed my time outside with the birds and bugs and other creatures that I encounter.

I continue to be grateful for all the support and interaction I get from all of my friends of the birds. So Thank you for the motivation you give me to do what I do.

Merry Christmas
