npmimages: Apropos nothing in particular…
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2014/07/apropos-nothing-in-particular.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Saturday, 12 July 2014. Apropos nothing in particular…. 8230;but one of the joys of beach photography in relatively remote ex-industrial areas is that sometimes you get to see something like this. This is one of four peregrines that were playing in the breeze over the cliff tops – 2 adults and 2 young I think. The young were obviously practising their skills on passing gulls, and on one occasion a passing gannet! I may have to return to the location with a longer lens.

npmimages: Arctic tern
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2014/07/arctic-tern_30.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Wednesday, 30 July 2014. July saw my first trip to the Farne Islands in breeding season and it certainly won't be my last. I'm not sure that the colour scheme in this photo would work in my living room - but it's certainly dramatic in the proper setting. If you like bird photos I can recommend my brothers blog - especially during Wild Bird Wednesday. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I remember that location! I think Ill be going with terns next week. 30 July 2014 at 22:35.

npmimages: Wild Bird Wednesday (2)
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2012/10/wild-bird-wednesday-2.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Tuesday, 16 October 2012. Wild Bird Wednesday (2). Still Tuesday here in the UK but I see the linky thing is working so here we go. This one is from our Swiss holiday in 2011. Given that we were in the middle of a major city there was a surprising amount of bird life on and around Lake Geneva, and as it was early summer there were lots of young birds in evidence - like this Red Breasted Merganser and her brood. See more great bird shots at Wild Bird Wednesday. Wonderf...

npmimages: Wilson’s Prom and a Crested Tern (WBW)
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2013/01/wilsons-prom-and-crested-tern-wbw.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Thursday, 10 January 2013. Wilson’s Prom and a Crested Tern (WBW). Memories of a summer holiday on the far side of the world. It was cold, very windy and threatening to rain, so in traditional British holiday-maker fashion we set off with Stewart to go for a walk on the beach. Would have missed this chappie if Stewart had not pointed him out to me, trying to disguise itself as a silver gull. 8211; why not join in the fun. You wont even have to get cold and wet. Follow...

npmimages: Wild Bird Wednesday
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2012/10/wild-bird-wednesday.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Tuesday, 9 October 2012. Thought I'd join in with my brother's wild bird photography blog, as I have a few of them tucked away. This is a Tawny Flanked Prinia I took at the Skukuza rest station in the Kruger National Park which we visited in December 2006. See more great bird shots at Wild Bird Wednesday. Tuesday, October 09, 2012. Great shot of this spunky fellow! Boom and Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada. 9 October 2012 at 21:29. I love the way it holds it tail up!

npmimages: The Common Cormorant (or Shag): WBW
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-common-cormorant-or-shag-wbw.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Wednesday, 28 November 2012. The Common Cormorant (or Shag): WBW. The common cormorant or shag. Lays eggs inside a paper bag. The reason you will see, no doubt,. It is to keep the lightning out. But what these unobservant birds. Have never noticed is that herds. Of wandering bears may come with buns. And steal the bags to hold the crumbs. All of which is complete nonsense of course – including the confusion of cormorant and shag! Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Follow t...

npmimages: Caerlaverock
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2012/10/caerlaverock.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Tuesday, 23 October 2012. This time we tried Caerlaverock - their website suggesting that there would be Whooper Swans and Barnacle Geese in decent numbers. And we weren't disappointed - except by the swans who were too busy doing swanny things out in the fields. Went into the first hide - and just about the first bird we spotted other than a few shoveller ducks was a merlin - only my second ever. So sorry swans - not bothered that I didn't see you now. Its great shar...

npmimages: Old friends and new in foreign places
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2015/05/old-friends-and-new-in-foreign-places.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Thursday, 14 May 2015. Old friends and new in foreign places. SoI’ve just returned from 10 days in the Seychelles – something of a bucket list destination for me. As I didn’t go to any of the “bird” islands the spotting was not as dramatic as its reputation but there was still plenty to add to my list once I got my eye in. This one is not quite an old friend – but familiar from a dismally damp and windy day at Waratah Bay with my brother in 2012. Who can res...If you&...

npmimages: Whooper Swan–Caerlaverock–WBW
http://npmimages.blogspot.com/2013/04/whooper-swan-caerlaverock.html
A photo a day keeps the doctor away. Wednesday, 10 April 2013. Whooper Swan–Caerlaverock–WBW. Whooper Swan - Caerlaverock. A photo by nmonckton. The tail end of winter had a bit of a sting in this part of the UK so I thought I'd make a trip to Caerlaverock to see if any geese or swans were willing to have their photo taken. Geese there were none, but this Hooper Swan was one of many making use of the free buffet provided by the reserve staff every day. More great birds at Wild Bird Wednesday. Happy 7th B...
