Pied Avocet Trying to Find Some Food This was one of many close by at Titchwell March, and one of the hides when we were trying to spot the rare Spotted Crake. It did show, but the nice photos are from other birds, such as this one. #photography #Birds […] [Original post on phpc.social]

A white bird with black legs, cap, and beak is wading. Its head is on an angle and its upcurved beak slightly open.

Dartford Warbler Posing In nearly the same spot as the Stonechat from the previous post, this tiny Dartford Warbler sat still here for a few moments. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #NaturePhotography #wildlife #Norfolk

I tiny brown bird with orange cheeks and legs, a white belly, and a black tail. It's perched upon some needles of an evergreen. The background is green and blurry.

Young European Stonechat perched upon a branch. We were looking out for Dartford Warblers, but then this cheeky bird popped up. A little far away, but it sat still nicely. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #NaturePhotography #wildlife #Norfolk

A brown bird with a rusty belly and a black eye is perched on the top of a bush. More green bushes in the background.

Juvenile Reed Bunting in the Reeds Not as rare as the Bearded Tit, it's still not easy to find these in a reasonably easy situation to take a photo of. The light isn't quite perfect, but I still like it. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #NaturePhotography #wildlife #Norfolk

A brown and white speckled bird perched upon a thin reed. It's slightly back lit, and looks to the right.

Bearded Tit in the Norfolk reeds. I've heard a Bearded Tit a few times, but hand seen one before, and certainly didn't have the change to take a photo. It's not thr greatest, so will need to try again. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #NaturePhotography #wildlife #Norfolk

Thousands of Oystercatchers taking flight. From RSPB Snettisham's Spring Tide event a few weekends ago. Early start, but so worth seeing thousands and thousands of birds flying over the sea and land. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfFediverse #NaturePhotography #wildlife

A murmuration of thousands of Oystercatchers and other birds over the wash. There are some little egrets in the foreground too. Some of the birds in the air are lit up by the sun.

Good morning! It's a good day to go look at some birds. This is taken at sunrise at RSPB Snettisham, before a high tide event. This sends up tens of thousands of birds into the lagoon. Stay tuned for more photos! #photography #Birds #NaturePhotography #Sunrise #BirdPhotogaphy

The Sun is just peeling over a cloud near the horizon, back lighting the clouds that still look black. The foreground has a tree, and more backlit trees are on the horizon.

A bird is perched upon a wire fence. It's looking straight at you with its beak wide open. The bird's back has black feathers with brown edges. The other feathers are light brown with dark brown patches. Its eyes are black and set into a black patch on into its brown face.
