A Heron, a large black and white wading bird with decorative feathers on it's chest stands on the stones lining the edge of a canal in the winter sun. It's resting on one leg as they do
A kingfisher sits on the end of a wall in the winter sunshine. The bird is looking down and to the left in search of food it has a bright orange chest, mostly blue head and a longish sharp beak to help it catch fish
A redwing stands in a tree, it's been eating the berries shown in the background. The bird itself has a brown head and back with a buff stripe over the eye, it has a cream chest speckled brown and a distinctive red/orange mark by it's wing
After much prevarication I have lashed out on a new camera, today was it's first test run. Obviously the wildlife has to be there and the light has to be good but I'm very pleased with the results given I'm learning how to use it....
