Recent Nature/Bird Photos

Good morning everyone! Between the business of life, travel for work, and poor weather for outings, I have not had the opportunity to capture many photographs lately. However, I have a few shots taken recently that I wanted to share.

Spring is definitely in the air as the temps slowly warm and the birds become more active.

Black Bird Aerial Show:

Robins were plentiful and as usual, they were not afraid of striking a pose for the camera!

The Eurasian Skylark is plentiful in the fields near our home. These fascinating birds are ground-nesters and can often be seen hovering above the ground in search of food, almost like a small kestrel, though their prey is mostly seeds and insects.

This last image was taken on the return walk to the car park from Old Harry Rocks. This young deer was enjoying a walk through the meadow and seemed unbothered by my presence, though he watched my wife and me as we walked by.

Well, that’s it for today! I hope you have a wonderful Thursday.
