Keith...these are just stunning...your crème de la crème. Congrats on 2 years of blogging. The photo of the Blue Tit melts my heart, and I love the wings showing on the Little Egret.
Keith, these are just gorgeous. Thanks so much for digging into the archives and posting them again. I'm relatively new to your blog and hadn't seen many of them before.
Keith - these are stunning photos! The first one is breathtaking in its detail and 3D feel. And that blue tit is really giving you an owl-like stare. The grebe on her nest is so evokative; you can almost feel the world from her perspective. Wonderful stuff and here's to many more years of it. Keep it coming!
cheers,

perfect shots all of them. Wish I could have that equipment along with that variety of birds. We are a bit short of them. :( Nice to see yours. :)
That's a really nice collection! Impressive!
And a wonderful set it is Keith. Congratulations.
Hi Keith, Lovely set of pictures. Did the Black and Mute swans mate? Back in the seventies, I worked at a Clarks shoe factory in Ilminster which had a large pond. On this pond there was a female mute Swan and a gander, they paired and raised two chicks, which were named 'Swoose'
Thank you Phyllis. Glad you enjoyed them.
Dixxe, thank you. Never thought I’d last 2 years lol
Thank you NatureFootstep. I guess I’m lucky with so many birds around here. :)
Øyvind, thank you. Appreciate your comments.
Thanks Roy. :)
Thank you Linda. It was a strange set up with these swans. Two Mute Swans had mated, and the Black Swan was a surrogate parent. He used to spend a lot of time at the nest, and when the cygnets hatched, he was very protective towards them, even fighting off geese that strayed too close.
What an amazing selection of bird shots! Hard to choose a favourite but I have to mention the egret, great timing.
Thank you JM. That's one of my favourites too.
Brilliant collection Keith. Teal gets a special mention. Hope you have many more wonderful years of blogging.
Thanks Trevor, I hope so too :)
I love watching birds. Your photos are beautiful!
Great post, and long may it continue Keith!
Congratulations on your anniversary!
It would be interesting to see the plumage of any young of the swans
Thank you Beth. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit :)
Thanks Angie. Hope you're well.
Thanks Harold. From what I remember, they looked like regular cygnets. I'll have a look through my hard drive, to see if I have any pictures.
and what an interesting and varied 2 years it's been for us. You've had some fantastic pictures and your stories have always entertained so....
Happy 2nd Blogday :D and don't ever stop :)
