Photo of the month - not a species you'd likely expect...


Firstly there has been a minor alteration to my previous post regarding some of the local 'politics' - this appears in bold type and begins 'Update'.

Birding early in the mornings and late in the evenings has given some pretty interesting lighting conditions for photography. Spring is a fantastic time of year to take 'pretty' photos of birds with colourful plant life; birds are quite active now due to some migrating, some courting and some already feeding young.

This image of a Blue Tit was taken at dusk on the periphery of The Borrow Pit. Due to the darkness causing extremes of shadows & highlights of the bird against the sky, careful exposure and recovery of shadow detail has given a rather pleasing aesthetic, almost like a painting.
