Just sorting through pics from a couple of weeks ago, thought I would share another Sparrowhawk snap. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

A handsome Teal on the edge of Gate Pool, South Walney yesterday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

A bonus today with the Whoopers, @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney, this one wearing a ring. Looking at the ringing record WWT Martin Mere is the likely destination. @kanebrides.bsky.social #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

I know just how you feel Wheatear........... I know just how you feel! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

While I'm posting, may as well have an incoming Curlew from the Duddon yesterday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

Lots of Skylark on the estuary currently, still filling the air with their song. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

Another from the Duddon Estuary today, Grey Wagtail with an eye to the sky. I don't blame it, as there was a Sparrowhawk flitting around. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Rock Pipit taking a bath on the Duddon Estuary today. Note: Using #agx in #darktable dev version, haven't quite got my head around it yet but I think I'm going to like it. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

Little Egret looking decidedly unimpressed with the Grey Heron. South Walney yesterday, most birds were hunkered down sheltering from the remnants of storm Amy. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

A perky Wren from South Walney on Sunday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Sanderling from a couple of weeks ago, quite a lot happening in this snap with shadows and reflections. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

You could be next! A rather baleful look from this Sparrowhawk that had just finished consuming its kill. South Walney today #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Redshank, Duddon Estuary, falling tide on Monday. I do like playing with reflections and shadows. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

I've been quiet lately due to bouncing my monitor onto an open laptop(twice!), laptop survived but monitor didn't. Also upgraded to new computer. Wheatear are moving though after the storms, this one from Walney on Sunday #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

That was a surprise, Clouded Yellow Butterfly at Sandhead, Galloway today. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #insects #butterflies #nature #wildlife #darktable

Another pic of the Sanderling from this morning, I did take a few! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

Solitary Sanderling on the shore at Port Logan, Galloway, this morning. First of the Autumn for me. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds #waders

Kittiwake, Kittipreen, Kittisleep. Mull of Galloway. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Bird of the day was this Osprey which passed by just before dusk, amazed that I even got the shot, as the camera was set up for taking some static pics of an island. Mull of Galloway #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

A Raptor day, with at least two Peregrine this morning that were too far for decent pics, fortunately this Kestrel came past just before dusk and gave me a look! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

As I've been out with the Gannets, I suppose I should post the classic shot. Mull of Galloway. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Still quite wild and windy this evening, I can't get down to a decent vantage point on the cliffs, so this "Gannet against a wild sea" will have to do. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Linnet on the ling. Very breezy today on the Mull of Galloway, these were sheltered in the lee of a wall. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

My home for the next couple of weeks, pic from last night just after the rain cleared.

Meadow Pipit, appropriately in a meadow @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney yesterday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Another Swallow pic from this morning on the Duddon Estuary. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

As they won't be around for long, spent some time with the Swallows this morning, good to watch the juveniles being fed. Duddon Estuary #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Bird on the wire, Wheatear are moving through on their migration. @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney today. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Walney Weasel on a wall. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography

Ants were flying yesterday, and Sand Martin made the most of it. Didn't quite nail it, but Hey Ho. @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Bonkin' Butterflies! Er, should I have said, Common Blue mating on a Plantain seed head? On my pristine "lawn". #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #butterflies #insects #nature #wildlife #darktable

A Whitethroat in the vegetation, @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney yesterday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Contemplating the journey ahead? It will soon be time for the Sand Martins to head South, bon voyage. @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney today. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Me and my shadow. Rock Pipit on the Duddon Estuary this morning. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Too hot for bird pics, here's an Emperor Dragonfly ovipositing @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social South Walney today. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #dragonflies #insects

One of the few Ringed Plover chicks that I've seen on the Duddon Estuary this year, this one almost fully fledged. How they actually manage to get any this far amazes me, I witnessed two incidents of dog disturbance this morning! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

I went hunting Damselfly in the "garden" this morning, this Pied Wagtail had more luck than me! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

As I've just mentioned the Duddon, here's a Tern on the turn. at the turn of the tide. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

It's that time of year again, Eider ducklings in a creche, these on South Walney, but several out on the Duddon Estuary yesterday. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Dappled light on a Spotted Flycatcher in a Rowan Tree. Yes I do have a soft spot for these lovely little birds! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

First morning without rain since I've been in the North Pennines, rewarded with a Dipper and Common Sandpiper on the South Tyne. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Feed Me! Collared Dove knows where the food is. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

I guess that's why they're called Flycatchers, one of the two Spotted that were bopping around in the rain. North Pennines. #BackDoorBirding #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Headed South from the Cheviots to the North Pennines, first garden bird is a Spotted Flycatcher. 😍 #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

For my last day in the Cheviots, thought I would focus on the House Martins, one of the youngsters is having Ladybird for breakfast! #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

It's a hard life for a Buzzard, no sooner had it escaped the attentions of a Corvid, than it was mobbed by a Kestrel. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Another brood of House Sparrows have fledged. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Goldfinch breakfast time. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

The owners of the property I'm staying in have done an impressive amount of work for wildlife, the buildings are dotted with holes that lead to nesting cavities. Well used by these Tree Sparrows. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds

Staying with garden birds, Robin through the leaves. #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds
