Some of the many Hedge Sparrows (male and female) that are currently using The Garden Jungle as their home and feeding ground. The numbers seem to be increasing year on year, successful breeding.

A local Red Kite obliged yesterday, staying in place long enough for me to get an alternative to an inflight photo for a change #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography

The bird I have the fewest photos of on my camera roll for the #least theme of #BirdOfTheDay is this Baird’s Sandpiper. I only managed to get a few shots on a visit to Seattle. Note the unusually long wings for a sandpiper. #birds #photography #birdphotography #nature #birding

A male bearded tit at RSPB Leighton Moss last week. #birds #ukbirding #ukwildlife #birdphotography #naturephotography

Had a very unexpected and unusual encounter yesterday that has been recorded with the Shropshire Ornithological group. On the edge of my local forest I disturbed a Curlew which took flight as I walked past, previous images of mine for reference

Just outside in The Garden Jungle feeding the Chickens and a flock of 40+ Fieldfare just passed overhead. Hopefully them and the Redwings will spot the dozens of apples on the floor from the trees in the orchard and avail themselves of them #thegardenjungle

Had a great walk through my local forest last night (Purslow Wood), it’s amazing what you see when you’re quiet. My count was six deer and five individual Tawny Owls, some of which were being very vocal. #thegardenjungle #autumn

This is what autumn looks like on the Long Mynd in South Shropshire, going to be taking another trip up there over the weekend to try and find (and photograph) the Golden Plovers which are around currently.

Autumn in Leintwardine, South Shropshire. Taken last week during a 5 mile walk around the fields, looking so green now from all the rain #southshropshire #landscape #thegardenjungle

There was an abundance of Ladybirds around the main pond which I noticed today whilst clearing some dead grass. The heads of the pond lily flowers have been left as many have bugs in them. #thegardenjungle #bugs #ladybirds

An unusual sight in my experience and only a phone record shot, but this is 16 Collared Doves all together. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than two together before #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon #photography

Some more of the beautiful colours in Purslow Wood today during a break in the heavy rain #thegardenjungle #shropshire #forest #autumn

#BirdOfTheDay today is #Hiding, some of these birds have got the hang of it, others quite the opposite. BTW, the one holding up the camouflage is a Song Thrush which hasn’t quite got any concept of it at all 😂 #birds #thegardenjungle #birdwatching #UKwildlife #birdphotography #photography

Had a great hike up to the highest point of Shropshire today, Brown Clee hill. The weather at the top was as cold as mid winter but the autumn forest views on the way up were beautiful #thegardenjungle #forest #landscape
