The Marsh Frogs were in fine voice at RSPB Rainham marshes yesterday, and I was pleased to finally get a shot of those amazing vocal sacs in action!

A little joy on a wet and very foggy day.

Taken earlier in the year.

The panopticon, with galvanised steel tubes that make sounds when the wind blows through them, was designed by Tonkin Liu. On the moors at Crown, Point overlooking Burnley, was one of three North West winners out of the 14 announced at The Royal Institute of British Architects national awards in London. The judges' report said: "It may not be a building, but the Singing Ringing Tree clearly fulfils the criteria for an architectural award, as a design which demonstrates excellence."

So I don't know

A number of Birds are starting to join the chorus and signs of Spring are certainly in the air. One Winter stalwart that is being joined in song is the Robin, here is one from the garden singing out in the setting sun...

Listen to: Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know

I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out

For something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader

But you can't seem to make up your mind

I think you better close it

And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here

C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you

Only want to see you

In the purple rain

 

Taken at Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR--La Sal del Rey in Hidalgo County, Texas on April 11th, 2015.

An early start this morning to get to my secret spot on Dartmoor to photograph these beauties.There is a good population on Dartmoor and the Males are now holding their territories .

I wanted to capture an image of a singing male and was fortunate when this one started to sing just a few yards from me.

It is to the Wrens as they sing their hearts out in the early spring. I have not since been as close to a singing wren as i was two years back when i took this shot.

She was so engrossed with her song i took several shots and as close as my lens would focus

Singing Honeyeater

≠===============≠

Most likely the bird has a nest in the nearby bushes.

It came out to see who was passing by, and just as quickly disappeared into the bush again.

The diminutive wren is a bird I haven't had a close look at for a while, however these last few weeks they seem to have been everywhere.

 

This example was spotted in a clearing in some dense woodland at the RSPB nature reserve of Leighton Moss.

Catherpes mexicanus,

Morro Rock,

Morro Bay, California

 

You might notice that his feet were pointed slightly toward our left. That's the direction he was singing most, with some also directed right towards me, and just occasionally he added parts of his song to our right, as if over his shoulder--spreading his song as much as possible. The background is the monolith, Morro Rock, which helped echo his song as well.

A gorgeous singing juvenile Stonechat. Obviously happy to be on the Northumberland coast looking out to sea.

 

Another sample shot from the Canon R6 and 600mm f11.

I loved using this set up. It's so light to carry around. All images hand held and no monopod.

Our regular Pied Butcherbird who comes to sing to us regularly. Perhaps he or she was singing Carol King's "Way Over Yonder". Their singing has many sounds to it and we adore the visits.

Singing wren

The much maligned Starling isn't a popular bird with many people. However, the sheens in the plumage when caught by the sunlight are sublime.

Happy to have finally seen this bird this morning. I believe I saw his mate also. I will post that image (although she is hiding pretty well).

Singing Honeyeater

+======================+

The wet foggy morning had saturated even the most careful of creatures. And Singing Honeyeaters defending their piece of the Cape Leeuwin Wattle are hardly careful.

I am not a regular photographer of birds, although I enjoy looking at images of them, so I was very happy to spot this lovely Robin and even happier to have a long lens on my camera.

 

This is quite a heavy crop so I am pleased with the feather details captured by the Fuji 100-400 at its longest reach. Shame about the branches in the background but this Robin was very shy!

Young female Superb Fairy Wren calling mate in the middle of a feather cleaning activity. Long shot in the Currumbin Creek mangroves (Beree Badalla). Not only are these wrens tiny they are mostly fluff when you get there!
