Rebel was a Kestrel who was aptly named as we learnt at our bird of prey experience at Dalhousie Falconry. He had a cheeky character and did things his way... including landing on peoples head rather than the glove!
I have just been looking through some old raw files and realised I'd overlooked processing this shot. I thought it made quite a nice portrait!

Today I was super lucky to see an ABA Code 4 Fieldfare! The bird was first found and stunningly photographed by Roger Beardmore and his wife Nan and their friends Peter and Sharon Lawless. It is the second record for the province of BC.
It took just shy of 5 hours to get there and it was a lovely drive.One of my fave twitches as it is a bird I have always wanted to see in BC. It was a lifer for me! ABA bird # 696 and BC Bird # 425. Many Birders from the Pacific Coast will twitch this bird and especially BC listers because the last record was a one day single observer sighting from 2003 by my friend Larry Cowan.
I was really struck by the elegant beauty of this bird.
Good luck to all who twitch this bird go ASAP because all the berries on the bushes are being heavily eaten by a large flock of Bohemian Waxwings and some Robins he's loosely hanging with.
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 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.

No fixing or toning.
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.

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.
