I recently visited a relatively new RSPB site not far from the river Ribble called Hesketh Out Marsh, probably the wrong time of year to see a great deal of birds, but one that I did see I have wanted to photograph for a while.
Although still quite far off this is the closest I have been to a Sky Lark.
The next two images where the best from the bunch and still heavily cropped, but for a first I am pleased with them.


Hesketh Out Marsh will definitely be one to visit during Autumn and into the colder months.
Finally a Juv. Blue tit from my garden and apart from Juv Coaltit, Bluetits are one of my favourites.

All photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm
I would love to say that I meant to take the Bluetit shot, but it was one of those nice surprises when the images came up on screen.
Hope you liked the shots.
Until next time.
Mike.
