Catch of the day. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

Four Goosanders chasing another that had caught a big fish. The 30 seconds of chaos surrounding this was something to behold! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

An Oystercatcher taking it easy on a very hot day on Walney Island last year. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

My favourite is the Heron photo I posted a few days ago, but I like these too. Front facing Heron, and a close-up of a Goosander. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds #Heron

I hear Goldcrests in the park fairly frequently, but hadn't been able to get a decent shot of one, until last weekend. For today’s #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme of #birdinabush, any bird in a bush. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

There's a lot of spectacular photography for today's theme. This is not one of them, but I thought it was fun anyway. This poor Coot was struggling to keep hold of food on the ice.. For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #FoodFinds. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

Happy new year! A shot from Boxing Day, this Great Tit appears to be balancing something on the tip of its beak.. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

Life has been busy lately and this morning was the first time I've been out with my camera in a month! This Coot was working hard to feed its chicks. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

One day I will win a game of Under Grove, but it wasn't today! 😅

Y'know, I don't think I had ever seen a Blackbird's tongue before. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds
