British birds

I put my camera to the test at the weekend, taking pictures of wild birds. A bit harder to capture on camera than my parakeets, although a good selection of treats hanging from the trees makes it a bit easier.

Blue Tits

perfectly balanced!

Great acrobats

Green on the back. The delicate feathers almost look like fur.

Great Tit

A female I think.  The male has a much bolder belly stripe.

Coal Tit

The very small Coal tit.

Reed Bunting

A male reed bunting. I was surprised to see one of these next to the car park.

Bullfinch

One of my favourites, a male bullfinch.  Struggled to get an in-focus picture through the twigs.
