If there's one kind of wildlife there's plenty of in the south of England, it's small birds. We have a plethora of small birds, and some impressive larger ones as well. I'm lucky to have some great places to go and photograph them in my local area, here's some of my favourites experiences with birds.
On a trip to Milford on Sea(A town with an extremely windy pebble beach), in the marshes behind the beach, I saw some wading birds darting around.
I haven't had much luck with waders so far but I got some nice shots of this Turnstone.
There were lots of birds to see on this particular day in October including: A curious crow, a shrewd Shoveler, some brazen Black-headed Gull(I believe), some preening Pochard, a gracious Grebe, a handsome Heron, and a pretty Parakeet.
This is the only time I've managed to photograph a Kingfisher. When I'm at Moor Green Lakes I often see quick flashes of blue streak past me and hear the high pitched call, but never actually get a good look; they are maddeningly illusive. These photos weren't very close and the background wasn't great, as well as having quite a high iso, but they are my only Kingfisher photos and so they are precious.
