A Posing Swallow

Normally quite a difficult bird to capture, particularly in flight, this swallow briefly perched and posed for me.  Taken at Coombe Hill in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire.

Osprey Vs Fish?

Clearly in this case the fish lost out, but only after several attempts.  The last place I thought I would ever witness an osprey in action would be at a reservoir near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.  I hoped when I last visited Scotland to enjoy a similar experience, but with no success.  However, this juvenile osprey appeared approx. 2 weeks ago and has been entertaining the masses with its fearless, fast plunges into the water in an attempt to catch some lunch.  I would of course have liked the shots to be sharper, but the ambient lighting was relatively poor.

There Once was a Poor Little Puffin…..

This poor puffin with a beakful of fish for its pufflings was too slow in getting back to its burrow before this greedy gull stole its bounty – a common hazard that a puffin undergoes each time it returns to feed its young.

The following various shots which I could not quite fit into individual posts were taken during a recent trip to London.  The shots include the Royal Opera Arcade, Scotland Yard and the St James Court hotel where we stayed overnight.
