birds singing

[alexs]

So its started raing here, which is a good time to take the photos off my camera from the last few sunny trips out.. I've been trying to capture little birds singing for my new video...

not sure what this is?? but I liked the background, looked like a watercolour to me...

Tried everything to get the redstart, then (in micheal cane voice) I only went and blew the blooming highlights...

Next chance I got he was too far away and sitting on the only artificial perch for miles:bonk:

Re: birds singing

Nice shots, good capture of the Redstart.

The first by the way, is a Linnet.

Re: birds singing

Yes some excellent shots, Redstarts are not very often seen around here so I am very envious. The warbler looks like a Willow Warbler.

Re: birds singing

Nice set of pictures Alexs, in the first one is that some kind of flying beetle to the right of the Linnet?

Re: birds singing

No idea about birds, I'm lucky if i see a sparra in London but I loved the warbler image. I think I might have cropped it a little but that is personal taste. Great pics
