Not for the first time I'm filling the gap between my birding opportunities to keep Birds2blog head above the water and afloat, and not for the first time it is with some excellent photographs from some of the photographers who grant me the permit to publish their work....all in the name of keeping Birds2blog interesting and colourful.
Ever since the day I abandoned photography to pursue birding and my passion for the birds, I've never lost sight of an intense interest in the art of freezing a moment in time with an image and those who achieve and produce them. This time all four images are certainly 'pics with a difference' and are stunning in their own right....and there's an American at the end!
Gannet David Cookson
Common Blue Damselfly Marc Heath
DC captioned this remarkable photograph of the Gannet 'Ghost-rider in the sky'....WOW!
I told MH that I had never seen anything quite like this photograph of the Common Blue Damselfly.... A remarkable photograph.
Swallow Brian Rafferty
BR appropriately titled the post 'Special Moments' in which this picture of the three young Swallows appears. If he doesn't mind I'd like to caption it 'Goal'....well thats what they're shouting is it!
Nuthatch Warren Baker
The Nuthatch has the ability to walk along the underside of branches and up and down trees, like the one WB caught in this excellent photograph.
Pectoral Sandpiper Tim Kuhn
The most numerous Nearctic wader on this side of the Atlantic, there could be a Pectoral Sandpiper near you, they're all over the place in the UK as I write. Thanks Tim....its a beauty.
Treat yourself to some brilliant photography and visit all these websites sometime.
I'D SOONER BE BIRDING....but not looking good until next week, which makes me not feeling good either.
These are certainly excellent photographs ever one a winner in it's own right.People would always view your blog for the wealth of imformation it contains.
