  • Early February birds

    Early February birds

    Another walk down to the river with my camera. Tap on an image to see it in its gallery. Along the river were a few little flocks of Long Tailed Tits going from tree to tree and with them several Goldcrest. Three if not more Goldcrest were also in one of the bushes next to […]

    Goldcrest at Denso

    As some of you will know I have a new camera body, a Canon R7, but I still have the Canon 7D MkII. When I go out I usually have my binoculars with me on their neck strap and after a while, binoculars round my neck, camera and long lens over my shoulder, things start […]

    Redwing, Siskin, Mandarin Duck & Jay

    I’ve had another couple of walks along the River Aire at Denso. We have had Redwing in our garden again this year. They eat the berries on next door’s tree, fly to the tops of the trees and also rummage in the leaves under our Viburnum. The Great Tit, Bullfinch and Squirrel were near the […]

    A New Year, 2023

    On New Year’s Day 2023 I took my camera down to the river Aire at Denso Marston Nature Reserve. I was going to say “again” but since this is the first day of the new year it is my first visit to the little reserve. As usual you should be able to click on an […]

  • Denso Nature Reserve after Christmas II

    Denso Nature Reserve after Christmas II

    I had another walk around Denso Marston Nature Reserve on Thursday 29th. This time I didn’t spot any Kingfishers which is unusual but after taking a photo of the Crow with its nictitating membrane over over its eye I spotted a Cormorant flying along the river. As usual click on an image to see it […]
