Seven years

I started this blog in 2016. It has been a great journey and I’ve really loved sharing what we’ve seen together. There will be new things. We get hints of feathers we’ve not seen before. But it takes some time to put together the rarer things. I guess patience is the main lesson in photography.

Just for fun I gathered up what I think are my top ten photos, not in terms of wonderful birds, but in quality of shot. Because I want to push that aspect of what I do and refine my composition and image quality skills.

These are in no particular order but if one really stands out you can let me know.

Robin/Rouge-gorge

House sparrow/Moineau de maison

Puffin/Macareux

Magpie/Pie

Kestrel/Crécerelle

Jays/Geais

Heron/Héron

Green finch/Pinson vert

Black kite/Milan noir

Blue tit/Mésange bleue

Redstart/Rouge-queue

Long-tailed tits/Mésanges à longue queue

Greater spotted woodpecker/Grand pic épeiche

Okay. More than 10. I’ve added the French names (I think, corrections bien venues). I’m always embarrassed that I can’t talk to my neighbours about what I’ve seen.
