A Wren In Full Song.
Spent today at RSPB Rainham Marshes with a small group from our Wakering Photography Group.
About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts (Courtesy RSPB).

I must admit to not really having any idea about bird photography or any wildlife for that matter. How hard can it be? Whack the ISO up and a fast shutter speed....erm nope Adrian, there is substantially more to it than that!
Two things I'll remember for next time.
1. You don't need to lug every last bit of kit around with you.
2. Try to be upwind of the gannets. They stink!
Really enjoyable afternoon though wandering around the cliff tops seeing what works and what doesn't work. Huge learning curve. Definitely need to work on my panning and also identification.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire. The Atlantic puffin is rated as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Robin.
I absolutely adore Robins, they never fail to put a smile on my face, and this one certainly achieved that.

The Cormorant is a common bird that can be found throughout the UK, along the coast and at inland lakes. Regardless of their large number I always find that they are a head turner. Their prehistoric looks probably have something to do with this.
This particular one was seen flying from lake to lake at the RSPB run St Aidans nature reserve.
Female Reed Bunting. One of those little brown birds that is easy to overlook and yet has a wonderful pattern up close!
