I've not been travelling too far from home lately. I'm watching local sites for any potential courtship and breeding behaviour that I can capture. (Bearing in mind the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, Schedule 1, of course.)
Stourhead, Wiltshire:
 |
| Great Tit |
 |
| Dunnock |
 |
| Robin |
Since these Robin images were taken my subject seems to have acquired a mate. Alternate mealworms given are taken off into nearby shrubbery.
Steeple Langford, Wiltshire (spread over 2 days):
 |
| Long-tailed Tit |
I normally avoid photographs of birds on feeders and prefer to catch them 'off the food source'. However, I couldn't resist this one.
 |
| Great Crested Grebe |
 |
| Black-headed Gull |
 |
| Mute Swan (with his back to the stiff breeze) |
 |
| Mallard |
 |
| Tufted Duck |
 |
| Great Crested Grebe |
 |
| Shake it all about |
