Goldfinch
A brief period of decent light in my garden today allowed faster shutter speeds for some flight shots. I was pleased to catch this Goldfinch in the frame and in focus.
Chaffinch (juvenile)
One of several young Chaffinches in my garden recently. This one looks like a male as it’s starting to develop the chest colouration
Blue Tit (juvenile)

Another flight shot from my session in my garden this week, this time a Goldfinch
Goldfinch (Explored 8 Feb 2020)
A shot from last year I forgot to post at the time. It’s always challenging to catch smaller birds in flight, lots of missed shots but pleasing when you nail one.
Bullfinch (male)
I spent a couple of hours in my garden this week experimenting with my 500mm and had enough light for some flight shots. This male Bullfinch was his usual aggressive self with the Goldfinches.
Battling Goldfinches
A minor altercation between two Goldfinches in my garden recently.

Redstart ♂️
A shot from back in May of the male Redstart I was watching, flying away from the nesting site just as the rain began.

Back to the Goldfinches, one half of a battle between two birds.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter weekend and a huge thank you for all your faves and comments.

Another shot from my Small Garden Birds in flight project, a Goldfinch this time, hoping to catch these in a mid air battlle!
Great Tit landing
Some great light this week so had to have a session with the garden birds again, this Great Tit obliged by coming into land where I hoped!
Chaffinch (m) (Explored 22 March 2017)
Another shot from my Small Garden Birds in flight project, this time a male Chaffinch in hover mode with some nice early evening light.
The yellow in the background are Daffodils!!
Blue Tit
A shot I’ve been after for sometime now, finally managed this head on in-flight Blue Tit coming into land.
Still working on improving my in-flight shots, Greenfinches and Goldfinches both visiting regularly now.

Another shot from my Garden Birds in flight project, taken at the beginning of the week before the rain came!
Not quite as sharp as I would like but it’s my first in-flight shot of a Goldfinch so I thought I’d share it anyway.
Have a good week everyone 🙂
Goldfinch in flight 2
A second shot of a Goldfinch in-flight from my garden last week.
Hoping the rain stops so I can get out and catch some more soon.

Chaffinch
I spent some more time in my hide this week with the garden birds in flight project, a few keepers including this one of a male Chaffinch.
Long-tailed Tit
Just recovered my PC from a serious outage so to celebrate being able to edit photos again here’s a LTT taking flight in my garden.
Coming in to land
Back to small birds in-flight, I finally got some decent light and got a few flight shots, not in my garden this time.

Chaffinch landing – Happy New Year
My last post for 2016 a male Chaffinch coming into land.
I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and say a BIG thank you for all your faves and comments over the year.
Coal Tit landing (Explored 29 December 2016)
I’ve set myself a new project to capture some small garden birds in flight with my new garden setup.
This is the first successful shot of a Coal Tit coming into land, hoping to get some more over the holidays.
