I took advantage of the weather again and went to Pennington Flash. Here's a couple of evening pictures with interesting effects.

Blue tit in the evening. I like the rim lighting on this one.

The weather picked up a couple of days ago and I managed to get to Pennington Flash to see what was about. The following were taken there.

Young chaffinch

Northern lapwing

Common terns looking for directions

A cheeky grey squirrel stealing from the feeding hide

This one was in my back garden and I like the effect of the tail caused by a slow shutter speed

I'm off to the UK for 6 weeks so yesterday and today was my last chance to visit Badaan. There's a lot more activity as the migration has started. There was about 30 turnstones in one of the fields and a couple of young collared pratincoles. I also spotted an isabelline wheatear and yellow wagtail. Brendan netted a masked shrike, which was a surprise.

I just had to include this graceful prinia.

I've just set up a small forum and if anyone wishes to discuss any of my pictures, feel free to register.
