South Coast Birds

There didn't appear to many birds around or any that came close enough anyway.

I could see plenty of Terns and Gannets diving through my bins out at sea, but where way off and came out like dots when I looked at the photos.

This Stonechat which you will see in the shots was really obliging and came in really close, hope you like the pics.

I know all the shots are very similar, but I just wanted to make the most of the only bird that came in close.

And finally a gull portrait


All photos taken with a Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm

Welsh birds

Here are a few shots I took whilst on my travels around North Wales, the first couple of images are of a Stonechat, which was taken at South Stack on Anglesey.

I was surprised how close this little chap came to me before flying off again.

Here is the view from the top of the cliffs at South Stack.

The second set of shots are a female Goosander which swam past me with 3 young on Llanberis lake, every time the young took a dive she would stick her head in the water to watch them.
