I put together this varied collection of images from the last week.
Female Kestrel
There are still plenty of butterflies on the wing.
Painted Lady
Red Admiral
Large White (Fem)
Speckled Wood
I followed and watched this 'Scruffy' bunch Goldfinch searching for seeds.
A distant Male Stonechat proved difficult to get close to and remained on unapproachable bushes.
An evening iPhone image overlooking Portland Bill with the Portland Bird Observatory Lighthouse in the foreground and the Operational Lighthouse beyond.

Great series of images, Roy, the Kestrel especially. Kestrels always seem wary and skittish and are prone to leave the moment you even think about raising the camera!
ReplyDeleteThanks David.
DeleteA stunning sunset image. I was watching some Goldfinches earlier in the week - some were so scruffy that they were barely recognisable.
ReplyDeleteThanks John.

DeleteHi Roy, Very nice images. Beautiful Kestrel . Nice that you still saw so many butterflies, especially the Painted Lady match so nice with the color of the flowers. Great series of the Goldfinches! So nice light.
ReplyDeleteAlso superb landscape and sunset, wow!
Regards, Maria
Thanks Maria.
DeleteGreat to see.
ReplyDeleteThe kestrel is very beautiful but the other birds such as the juvenile goldfinch are just beautiful. The butterflies are a nice change :-) My compliments.
Thanks Helma.
