Kittiwakes on the Grand Hotel, Scarborough. There are 500+ pairs nesting all over the exterior of this large seaside hotel. #birds

Two different Kingfishers on the River Kelvin in Glasgow, near the Botanic Gardens, this morning. First one (left) looks like a juvenile, the second an adult female. #birds

Puffins! Mostly distant but still good to see them, at Bempton, Yorkshire, a few days ago. #birds

@EMArdrossan 👍🙏

@BGallagherColl Splendid.

@BGallagherColl i'll put an announcement in the group chat for you

Somebody’s after telling the Herring Gulls outside my room that I’m looking to photograph seabirds. At Scarborough, on the way to Bempton. #birds

@adamclittle Thanks!

@BGallagherColl That’s brilliant, Brian, all the action and a perfect reflection!

Some pond weed getting in the way of Common Tern’s fishing at Bushy Park, London. #birds

@adamclittle Thanks Adam. Took me hundreds of shots to get about 12 I kept. Helps when the sun is out and when the birds come quite close.

@BGallagherColl Nice shot, Brian. I stand and watch them because I haven’t got a hope!

Common Tern over the Heron Pond at Bushy Park, London. #birds

@tizdesigns Thanks!

@BGallagherColl Fabulous photo!

Cast-iron Crow. On the Prince of Wales bridge in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. #birds

Last couple of visits to the River Kelvin in Glasgow produced no Kingfisher photos but I did get a few minutes with this Bullfinch pair. Female on the left, male on the right. #birds

Kestrel Dad visiting the nest. Bushy Park London, last week. #birds

Kestrel chicks in the nest, in a tree in Bushy Park, London. I saw at least 4, probably 6, adult Kestrels in the park, and two different nests with chicks in. #birds

@alfabrk Thanks!

@BGallagherColl Stunning shot!

Detail from a shot of a female Kestrel flying back to the nest with prey for her chicks. Looks like the prey could be a field vole. Taken in Bushy Park, London, last week. #birds
