Duck

I can always rely on ducks. They're one of the few birds that don't fly off the moment I get my camera out! Swans, geese, seagulls and pigeons also seem to love having their photo taken :-)

Hunting Kestrel

The Kestrel is hovering over the fields watching for the slightest movement before diving down for the kill. :-)

Heading Downstream

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a duck, drifting slowly downstream without a care in the world?

Eurasian Coot, Fulica Atra

The common Eurasian Coot is a plump waterbird similar to a moorhen. I spotted this one foraging by the pond in Saint James's Park, London.

European Robin, Erithacus Rubecul

Normally I'm too slow when trying to take close-ups of birds. By the time I'm ready they're long gone! Luckily this robin in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace didn't mind waiting for me.
