Just a few shots from the past week.
Nothing too exciting except the Redpoll.
RINGED PLOVER |
SKYLARK |
GOLDEN PLOVER |
GOLDFINCH |
COMMON REDPOLL |
This Redpoll was on a feeder in a private garden at St. Ives.
Believe it or not it was a lifer for me.
Great shots here. I'd have been most excited about the Golden Plover in breeding plumage!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I've ever seen a Common Redpoll. The Redpolls that visit our garden are so very varied in plumage (and I'm not just talking about the amount of red on the males) and (to some extent) in size, that there could well have been something other than a 'Lesser' around, but I can't tell the difference! I'm just happy to have them visiting!
Not to exciting eh, I have yet to see a Redpoll and the digiscoping is stunning.

A lovely collection of photos! I've only ever photographed a Skylark peeking out of the vegetation. Well done on the Common Redpoll. I think I've only seen the Lesser but to be honest I'm not sure as I find them difficult to ID.
ReplyDeleteEen hele mooie serie goed gedaan hugs Danielle

ReplyDeleteWell done with the Redpoll lifer. It is strange how some of our regular UK birds us birders have a job to add to our life list. Nice photo of it too.
