Going to be away for 2 months taking photos in South America. I'll be posting a lot of photos once I get home.
Thank you!
Love the colours on a Starling close-up, this was taken at Land's End.

A Curlew catching a crab, it amazes me how they can eat these whole.

A House sparrow perched upon a branch. The sparrow is basking in the sunlight.
A common species here, but loved the light on this one. Not many people take photos of House Sparrow's in the UK, so maybe it becomes rarer online ๐

There are some crazier bird names out there, Cock-of-the-rock is my favourite ๐
Lovely shot
Condors are very heavy birds compared to Frigates! I don't think he's correct. www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...
Source? I have plenty of sources saying it's the Magnificent Frigatebird.
Thank you!

Shows how light they are for their size
Yea, Frigatebirds are very light considering their size and have 2.2m+ wings. They are insanely fast when they need to be. Albatross are much larger/heavier body wise.
The real pirates of the Caribbean!

A huge Magnicent Frigatebird flying. This one has large brown wings, a white beak and a black head with a blue ring around the eye.
A Magnificent Frigatebird! Love these huge birds, they float in the sky like Batman ready to pounce. They have the largest wing-to-body ratio of any bird. The picture was taken in the Caribbean.

A portrait of an iridescent Rook. Rooks have a distinctive beak and have been associated with death. The Rook was in mid-blink and very close.
Love Rook's for portraits, they have a gnarly metal look to them. Mid-blink for an even more scary look. They have a beautiful iridescence in sunshine!

We get them sometimes in the UK.
Palmetum Gardens is your best place to see them.
Thanks very much!
A Hoopoe posing for the camera. It's a brown bird with a large black and brown crest with a long beak. It was standing on the stones by a pond.

He dared to swim in the same pond ๐ Goose ran away as it was outmatched.
You can try if you like...๐
If you see a Swan in this pose, back up! This one was in attack mode, heading straight towards a Goose it wasn't happy with.

Haha! We don't get meadowlarks here, you never know you might!
A Skylark singing in the grass.
Skylark singing its heart out! Now can spring come sooner as this weather is depressing? ๐

A Grey Heron portrait. Heron's always make good subjects to photograph. I took this on the Bude Canal in Cornwall.
