This was what all the fuss was about. Top of the fantasy wishlist of every twitcher in Britain, an accessible bird on the mainland was found by a dedicated local birder in the village of Easington a couple of miles North of Spurn Point, hot on the heels of a bird found on Shetland, its first day attracted an estimated 1200 birders. A local farmer set aside a field to accommodate the excess of vehicles and to alleviate congestion in the small village. Police patrols were stepped up and minor roads were closed to vehicles.
The bird spent a week feeding in this clearing taking tiny caterpillars, moving around furtively much like a common or garden Dunnock, oblivious to all the fuss it had created.

The last post from my 'misty morning in Devon' series. This is a bird watchers hut in the middle of a small lake.
A twitcher is someone who sets out to see as many different bird species as possible. In this cat's case, I think any bird will do, common or rare. As long as it has feathers and flies, that will suffice.
The final moments of the mating (maybe fighting?!) exercise of this pair. It was an aggressive affair with much of the action underwater.
I snagged this rather minimalist shot of one Grebe controlling the other by the neck.
Thanks for looking!

Oranges and plants from the frozen garden on Ilford Bromide "Special for Carbro" (24x30 cm).
Old school.
Citrus slices appear better on warm tone paper. But here they are anyway, just doing their best.
No fixing or toning.

Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.'

Symonds Yat Rock is home to Peregrine Falcons and Gosshawks among other bird species. It attracts bird watchers from near and far. The Peregrine (known as Duck Hawk in America) is the fastest animal on Earth, the highest measured speed in a dive being 242mph (389kph).
A slang British term for a nosy person who watches his or her neighbours, typically from a (net) curtained window.
I decided to play a little with this one to give it the faded look of a photo that's been pinned on the fridge for a couple of years.
The Bewicks Wren is a challenge to photograph as some part of it seems to be always in motion. High contrast conditions do not help but I got a couple of interesting images.
I am using this as a backup page checker....so if you see it keep coming to the top of the Birds and Wildlife UK group pool page - you are not dreaming or seeing things. It has a purpose.

Birders, twitchers, or whatever they are called take every opportunity to study their subjects at close range.
Atmospheric scenes from Newtown Nature Reserve last winter. Pepped up with a little bit of Flypaper Texture.
(And for those that are wondering... A twitcher / twitching is another name for a birdwatcher / birdwatching)
