Buzzard Photo's

Some more buzzard photos, even came close to the passing traffic.

(Buteo Buteo) Common Buzzard Rooting around Mole Hills

Red and Grey Squirrel Staffordshire And Lancashire.

Another Red from my collection that i took at Formby near Southport.

Also a much more common Grey Squirrel i photographed local to myself in Staffordshire.

I just liked the way it was making its way down the tree.

More new photos coming very soon, just got so much on at the moment its biting into my photoraphy which is never good :)

New location found and some beautiful woodland to explore.

Today i decided to go for a well earned walk just local to myself, I have been feeling unwell the last few days so today was my first venture out.
Within 5 minutes of home i have discovered new to myself a beautiful woodland with a unbelievable amount of activity.
This is now top of my list for local photographic opportunities of wildlife.

Three Buzzards were seen at the same time flying around the trees right in front of me, chasing each other, and again 10 minutes later another Buzzards investigating an oldnest high up a tree close by.

Treecreeper, Jay, Robin, Redwing and Long tailed tits were to name just a few.

Also heard close by was a Tawny old, I didn't manage to locate it though.

Here are a few photo's of the hour i had there.

Enjoy.

Raining again and the weather looks set to be aweful so i ........

I have decided to take a few photo's of the Robin's in the garden. Hopefully they will be nesting in there new home over the next months.
Here is a photo of the resident robin getting some nutrients from the feeding station.

Buzzard Chillin In Snow

Today while driving to Stoke i managed to see a Buzzard (Buteo Buteo) on small builing in the fresh snowy conditions.

Light was still poor so high iso on this one hence the noise.

Hope you enjoy.

One more from Formby

Last Red Squirrel Photo from Formby

A morning at Formby Red Squirrel Walk

We had a couple of hours of sunlight through the trees into the woods, so i had to make the most of these conditions as rain was forecast soon.

I managed to get a handful of pleasing photo's.

Enjoy
