I captured this Moorhen picture in the late evening in Tower Gardens. I thought it looked interesting stood on the top of the water fall silhouetted against the back drop.

First time I’ve seen a coot on the boating lake, plenty of Moorhen in Skegness, don’t remember seeing any coot’s though. It’s probably just me I suspect I’m not the first person to get Coot’s and Moorhen mixed up

Click on the title to see more Cormorant Images
This cormorant is causing quite a stir in Skegness, it was featured in our local paper (The Skegness Standard). A resident had seen it at the boating lake and didn’t know what it was, so I went to see if I could capture a photograph or two of this mysterious water bird. My hubby identified it as a cormorant, though not sure which type.

First visit to the Skegness boating lake and I didn’t spot the cormorant, but a few days later I went for a relaxing walk with my youngest son and we saw it standing on a rocky island in the middle of the lake

I took this photograph in an hedge row at Tower Gardens in Skegness.
We think it’s either a Wood Pidgeon feather or a Dove feather since the park has a lot of Doves.

I am so excited that I captured this photograph of these young starlings. I didn’t see the image until I got home, It reminded me of a military formation
I was snapping random shots at Skegness boating lake, hundreds of young starling had flocked in amongst the bushes at the top of the stone archway so I climbed on top of the archway and captured this photo, my only regret is I wish I had been zoomed out at bit more.

Is it just me or do Yellow Ducklings seem to have the odds stacked against them in the wild 
When we took this picture, the Skegness Waterway had an algae problem and this little yellow duckling seemed to be struggling a bit in the water without a mother duck, when we went back the next day, it was no where to be seen.
Very sad

My new camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is amazing for close up photos. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 has got a 18x zoom (even more with the digital zoom) and it’s great. This little wren was way off on a tree top when I took it’s picture. It’s a shame the wren was showing me his bottom when I captured the shot.

The first starling photograph below made me think of a couple of cool dudes chatting at the edge of the water I wonder what they where chatting about?

I took this photo of a female sparrow collecting aphids from my over infested tulips. If you zoom in on the photograph you’ll see she has hundreds of them in her beak.

I couldn’t work out if in this first picture the swallow has nesting material or insects in it’s mouth? I went with food and think it had picked up a stick at the same time, but not 100% certain.

You don’t get to see swallows sitting still very often, so capturing this picture was a gem I think

Here are some Swallow photographs I took at Skegness Waterway behind the beach in June 2009.
I couldn’t work out if they had chicks or where trying to build a nest, but when I went back to Skegness Waterway a couple of days later the swallow nest was empty and the swallows had moved on.

Heard this small bird singing in a bush at the back of Skegness waterway in May/June time. I think it might be a Black Redstart but I’m not sure.
