Trying to photograph this tiny and very mobile #Firecrest on #ShuttertonBrook #Dawlish today made me think how much more challenging it is than firing a shotgun at a bird. Why don't people put their guns down and pick up a camera to prove their skill? It is so not easy but fun!

the whistling of #wigeons is a winter highlight "Only about 200 pairs of wigeon breed in Britain, making it scarcer than the #firecrest, #Dartfordwarbler and #littleegret. But almost half a million birds arrive here in autumn from Iceland, Scandinavia and Arctic Russia to take advantage of our mild winter climate and plentiful food. As well as feeding in shallow water, wigeon also graze on land, plucking tender shoots of grass with their short, stubby bill. #nature

A lucky day out & about. I stopped on a woodland track & a Firecrest went around & around me. A rarer but less elusive bird returned (Isabelline Wheatear) not far from where I'd gone so I nipped along to see it. And then, a Scaup, a pair of Goldeneye and a Sandwich Tern were all reported on the River Exe virtually on my way home. All of this lovliness in the #Devon sunshine.

A few more #Firecrest photos from today, well it may be a long time before I see a Firecrest again and they did show unusually well despite cyclists, cars and trains rushing past the hedge ever so close! Amazing resilient tiny birds #StarcrossYachtClub #ExeEstuary #Devon

Finally I found a #Firecrest along #ShuttertonBrook today, long overdue I feel. Tricky to photograph with so many leaves still on the trees #Dawlish #Devon

Birders will be familiar with the expression 'record shot only', where we're trying to get a photographic record of what we've seen but the bird is proving elusive. Yesterday it was this Firecrest giving me the run (fly?) around.
These are rare birds here in south Wales. This may be the same bird found by a fellow birder on 3/11, which I re-found on 4/11, as it was in roughly the same area of overgrown vegetation.
I was just pleased to see it & get any kind of photo. #Birding #BirdsUK #Firecrest
