Distant Birds

Friday in Northumberland and every bird, apart from the Twite at East Chevington which came within feet of me, were always far too far away to get any decent images that’s why most of the images here are all biggish crops.

23.01.17 Northumberland Part 2

While up in Northumberland I thought, I would check out the Shore Larks at East Chevington. I got a brief glimpse of them (and only one picture) but the stars of the show were the Twite. They were feeding in the washed up seaweed and coming in very close to where we were sitting. They were flighty but if you sat still they came to you.
