Black Redstart (male)

From yesterday's visit to the South Coast at Telscome Cliffs
A Black Redstart (male) that only seemed to want to come out when the sun wasn't shining.... and taking photos through a metal gate wasn't the easiest thing to do...

Starling on the south coast just East of Brighton England.

We visited the south coast today (14th March 2013) and took quite a few photos of a Black Redstart (Male) - photos to follow... on the way back to the car there were some confiding Starlings... and this one caught my eye... I hope you like it... taken with my trusty Nikon D300S 500mm


The guys with the cameras went that way so leave me alone!

and this starting photo was taken at Shirley when we
were out looking for Waxwings (and found them) 2nd December 2012

Barn Owl at Southease West Sussex

This afternoon we visited Southease, near the railway station, West Sussex - crossing over the River Ouse (by foot) and having arrived about 3.30pm we were duly rewarded with a couple of barn owls from about 4.30 until after 5.00pm when it was getting a little dark! Some debate on Facebook as to whether this owl is a 'Dark Breasted Barn Owl' - I have no idea.. for me it is just a lovely Barn Owl.
