Water
Rail, Otmoor, Oxon 12
February 2006
This bird appeared
conveniently out in the open on the mud in front of the
first blind, but only after the sun had more or less set.
Not bad, considering the poor light..

Sparrow, Rushey Lock, Oxon 22 January 2006
One of very few shots of
these birds in front of all the twigs, instead of behind!

Great
Tit, Rushey Lock, Oxon 22 January 2006
Foggy conditions,
dispelled with PhotoShop! What's wrong with the odd
common bird?!

Tawny
Owl, Harwell, Oxon 21
January 2006
This day-time roosting
owl was a real challenge - very obscured by branches, and
then the bright sky behind.

Slavonian
Grebe, Farmoor Reservoir, Oxon 10 December 2005
A couple of record shots
of this distant bird. It is unusual in Oxon to have both
Slavonian & Black-necks at the same location - a good
chance to practice rare grebe ID skills!

An obliging individual,
close to the shore
