Bird Photography in Northamptonshire and the UK. Northamptonshire Birding Sites Photographs. IMAGES NOT SEEN IN A POST. Saturday, 29 August 2015. My birding day didn't start until late, very late in birding terms. I had to get some essentials for my bike. A decent waterproof cycling jacket and trousers for the wet days ahead. I don't mind getting caught in near tropical downpours, you ain't a proper cyclist. But you don't mistake a quails call. But there was a lot of activity in the hedges that caugh...

Birds As Art – Martin Swannell Birding Northants & Beyond
https://martinswannellnorthantsbirding.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/birds-as-art
Martin Swannell Birding Northants and Beyond. All wild birds matter. They need all the help we can give them. October 4, 2016. October 9, 2016. For the vast majority of bird photographers the general idea is to capture a sharp natural image with good detail -me included…big lenses and all that. Within the last few years and with the advances with digital and picture processing, I have looked for more abstract …’arty’…opportunities. Hope you can see what I’m getting at. Titles are difficult so best avoided.

Bird Photography in Northamptonshire and the UK. Northamptonshire Birding Sites Photographs. IMAGES NOT SEEN IN A POST. Sunday, 19 July 2015. SWALLOWS, SPARROWHAWK AND BARN OWL. Saturday didn't start off well as I awoke to the tragic news that Jules Bianchi had finally succumbed to his injuries in last year's Japanese Grand Prix. We're still waiting to see if Michael Schumacher will pull through his and if he does wether he'll have any permanent damage to his brain. Not a great day for F1. When the Swall...

Martin Swannell Birding Northants and Beyond. All wild birds matter. They need all the help we can give them. August 20, 2016. August 21, 2016. Juvenile bird with buffish(even reddish brown head) and streaked breast. Juvenile Dunlin note fresher ‘scaley’ plumage on back. We are fortunate in Northants to have several suitable feeding stops which reliably produce birds – sometimes in large flocks – where they can be observed.

Martin Swannell Birding Northants and Beyond. All wild birds matter. They need all the help we can give them. May 25, 2016. Most times I am happy to share locations of my sightings – which is the point of most blogs – to give others the possibility of seeing the birds. Some species,however are sensitive to disturbance or the wrong kind of attention, so, on this occasion I will not be giving the locations of these recent … Continue reading Recent Raptors….

Bird Photography in Northamptonshire and the UK. Northamptonshire Birding Sites Photographs. IMAGES NOT SEEN IN A POST. Sunday, 22 September 2013. WHERE'S THE MOST UNUSAL PLACE YOU'VE BIRDWATCHED?

Armed with the mighty 400d and a 100-400mm taken on the 30th March 2008 and I popped my Barn Owl cherry.and got a harsh dose of what was to come for our wildlife in the years that followed. As you can see from the images this Ba...

Great White Egret – Martin Swannell Birding Northants & Beyond
https://martinswannellnorthantsbirding.wordpress.com/2016/07/22/great-white-egret
Martin Swannell Birding Northants and Beyond. All wild birds matter. They need all the help we can give them. July 22, 2016. 8230;Arrival on the scrape. This morning at Summer Leys I got even luckier than usual. Often other birders say to me that I am a lucky birder ( sometimes I take this to be a sceptical view, but I generally back up my sightings with photos) My response is simple – It’s funny, but the more you go out birding, the luckier you get – that normally does the trick! First a big Roach /Rudd.
