Puffin running on water! 😁😍
This is a photo I've been after for years! 😀
The only chance I have is when I'm on the boat, just coming into Skomer Island, or just leaving, and people are so packed in that it's difficult to twist & take pics with a long lens. 😊🐦❤️

Vertical Swift approaching at speed! 😮😍
I spent an hour at RSPB Greylake in Somerset tonight trying to photograph the Swifts that were zipping about above the reedbeds.... It was a very frustrating but fun challenge, and this shot made it worth it! 😀🐦

It hassled this Herring Gull for a few seconds before flying off further out to sea, low over the waves. 😀🐦

I've been photographing little birds in flight for years and have thousands of images, yet I'm still fascinated because no 2 photos are ever the same!😀
For example, never had a mid-air pose quite like this one before! 😍

I rescued this female Blackcap from a cat this week!
She flew into this tree to rest and recover, and after preening her feathers, removing a couple of loose ones, she jumped into some ivy and started to eat berries. 😊❤️🐦
