Yesterday I thought I head out and enjoy the sun why I could, so my firsts top was Raphaels Park. The lake was mostly frozen over, but near the fountain a large number birds had gathered, including coots

After the intreset in the earlier Britain’s Biggest Bird post, I thought I cover Britains smallest bird. Again I’ve divided it into 3 catergories: weight, wingspan and this time length rather than height. Once again I’ve used Rob Hume’s
RSPB: Complete Birds of Britain and Europe as the source for the data.

Yesterday I had to brief trips to Regents Park. As soona s I walked in to the park in the Morning I came across a tame heron at the edge of the lake. I was lining up a head shot when it opened its beak
Annoyingly I missed the tip of the upper beak!

The 'incident' in my previous post aside, I had a nice walk around Regents Park as the light began to fade on the short December day. In one area a number of birds were posing in the snow by the frozen lake. This grey heron was waiting out the cold weather on the lake edge

A couple of days after the visit in the last post I ended up in Regents Park again. If anything the weather was even worse, thicker overcast cloud and it kept raining on and off. So I tried something different and used the on board flash and went towards the tame herons

Saturday before last I headed to Regents Park. The weather was overcast so I had to switch to my faster f2.8 100mm macro lens. Thankfully the wildlife here is more cooperative than most so I managed some photos without having to crop too much. The first thing I photographed was this heron

On Monday I ended up at Hanningfield Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve, where thanks to the dry weatehr we have had this year here in Essex, the reservoir is very low (just above 50% capicity I'm told) so the birds hides were to far from the water for any photography. But just as I was about to give hope of getting anything I noticed a little bird feeding in the hedgerow
A goldcrest

Last Tuesday I headed to Rainham Marshes on a day off. I was meant to be heading to Chelmsford to see a Red throated diver (or loon) that had turned up in the park there, but it had left on the Monday (and was sadly later found dead), so I head to Rainham marshes instead. It was a bit disappointing to be honest, as the water level was very low, with many of the better marsh frog and little grebe areas completely dry. But on the bird feeders I finally got a bogey species: the goldfinch

There plenty of birds in Richmond Park other than those Ive posted about. In the first pond we came to a heron was standing where I had seen one
eating frogs earlier this year.
