Palawan flowerpecker (Prionochilus plateni) by Paolo Dolina, on Flickr

In Norfolk is a pretty good place to visit if you are looking for something to do within a short distance of Fakenham, and it is very accessible from both North and West Norfolk. My wife and I often go there as we like to take a break in Old Hunstanton. Though a bit dated now, these pictures...

Hi there, I have a question about the zoom h8. I was just wondering is the self noise is quiet enough for nature recording? I have another field recorder which makes a fuzzy noise sound when I’m trying to record bird sounds. Would this be a decent option? Thanks

Dull rainy day here on the Island, so trying to capture birds in my garden from an open window...

Few spots from a wander around chichester canal / marina.

I'd normally be photographing professional football on a Saturday afternoon but with the closedown of the season I had a free day. So I went looking for a kingfisher. This was only the second time I've ever seen one, the previous time was just seconds, this one paid me three visits and hung...

Taken today in not the brightest of conditions ... I am using my 10 year old Nikon D300 with Sigma DG 150-500mm f/5.0-6.3 APO HSM. Was hoping for a bit sharper image but thinking that conditions were against me although I am happy with the blur on the wings which is what I intended. Been...

We took a trip to Florida last week and here are some of the shots I managed to get. All taken with my Canon 7D Mark II and Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 G2.

Hi All, I am planning on entering one of my images for the wildlife photographer and Bird Photographer of the Year 2018, what I would like to know is the extend to which an image can be cropped?

Hi all Since a holiday years ago when we saw the Flamingos and a brief sighting of the white horses........i have had a hankering to go again especially to photograph the horses but the organised 'safaris' are quite costly! So, has anyone been on such an organised trip and/or a non structured...

Her Hey guys, so been away from photography for a number of years but here are a few pics from the other day, Desford BirdLand is a fantastic parrot sanctuary with amazing staff and beautiful birds! I know the pics are a little soft and the DoF is a little small on some but they have only...

Who doesn't love a robin...?

Not the best photo (hence why I don't want to post this in nature) but definitely a bit...unusual...or for me quite horrifying!! I knew they ate small animals other than fish but couldn't quite believe what I was seeing lol (it's a rat)!

I'm new here, introduced to the forums by @charlychuckchuck . Have a photo of a blackbird singing its heart out...

I have just started taking photos again after a long break and assorted injuries which hopefully are disappearing. I went to Rye Harbour yesterday as it was a high tide hoping that there would be some wading birds within reach but there was only one in the couple of hours I was there and that...

Managed to get a few days away in north Norfolk over Christmas, and went to some of the nature reserves there. These are quite definitely not th best pictures I have seen of these birds, but, for me, they are all firsts, so please excuse me posting them as I feel relatively pleased with the...

All these shots were taken from my garden hide with a setup bird table approx 4-6 feet away depending on how I want the background to look, Before I have comments that these weren't taken in the wild i.e. walkabouts etc is because I am wheelchair bound so mostly they have to be done in the...

Having just taken delivery of my new Canon body in the last two weeksI am wondering if any other members have yet used the 1DX ii for birds in flight photography. If so, I would be pleased to hear of your experiences and what custom or case scenarios you have tried. I have had three outings...

It was quite poor light, but I am reasonably happy with these for a first attempt at any real sort of wildlife photography. Noticed one is ringed too. Hope you like. Comments good/bad are always welcome :)
