06 January, 2014. Stuart Warren discovered the second Glossy Ibis for Bedfordshire. The bird was still present, for its third day, but was distant, and, with a very blustery wind, nothing good was obtained with the camera. Posted by Andy Whitney. Welcome to my birding images. Images of birds taken (mainly) in the county of Bedfordshire, UK and (occasionally) further afield. You might want to check out my. Ring-necked/ Tufted Duck Hybrid Duck hybrid.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: August 2011
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
28 August, 2011. At Sandhouse Lane NR a Grey Wagtail. Was taking advantage of some exposed mud to feed on larvae and other invertebrates, then preening those all important feathers. The light level was quite low down in this old pit, so a tripod was utilized and the camera ISO was set at 500. Wagtails pump their tails up and down, so no chance of long exposures to compensate for the low light. Posted by Andy Whitney. Welcome to my birding images. You might want to check out my.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: January 2013
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
20 January, 2013. We've experienced winter snow for the last three or four years, and each time we see Fieldfare in the garden. They love cooking apples, cut in half, and defend them from other species, such as Blackbird and Starling, chasing them off. This individual appears to have a 'gammy' right leg. The shot was taken through a double glazed door window from a distance of about 12-14 feet. Apple: 'Tesco', cooking. Posted by Andy Whitney. Welcome to my birding images.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: February 2013
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
08 February, 2013. Another great find by John 'Leach' Lynch :-). John popped over to Brogborough Lake late morning 'as it was only ten minutes away' and was disappointed that there wasn't much around except the' known' Scaup which were in the fishermens' corner. He then noticed a few gulls harassing something - this 'something' turned out to be a Leach's Petrel. A few days later). Todays (less than) record shots are. Posted by Andy Whitney.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: April 2011
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
28 April, 2011. Posted by Andy Whitney. 26 April, 2011. Waxwings, Sandhouse Lane. S of yesterday were still around Sandhouse Lane. They were difficult to count, but around 70-100 birds. Nice to see them on trees with foliage for a change! They fed on a cherry tree and a large patch of Ivy on a Scots Pine. Posted by Andy Whitney. 13 April, 2011. Local Patch: Firecrest - a site first. A long expected find by John Lynch - a singing male Firecrest. Posted by Andy Whitney. 04 April, 2011. 02 April, 2011.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: Local Patch: Ring-necked/ Tufted Duck Hybrid
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2011/05/local-patch-hybrid-ring-necked-duck.html
15 May, 2011. Local Patch: Ring-necked/ Tufted Duck Hybrid. A hybrid Ring-necked/Tufted Duck. Was discovered by PM on his WEBS count today. The enlarged (rather poor) images indicate an obvious tuft, white nail on bill and greyish-white band around face. The flank is grey, but is surrounded by a white border and thhe head is purple-greenish depending on angle. Posted by Andy Whitney. Labels: Ring-necked/ Tufted Duck Hybrid Duck hybrid.

Bird Photos by Andy Whitney: Kos Part 1: 05/05/2011
http://andywhitney.blogspot.com/2011/05/kos-part-1-05052011.html
14 May, 2011. Kos Part 1: 05/05/2011. We chose Kos as a birding holiday destination not because it would provide many new birds for us (in the event there were none), but to get away from the 'zoo' that places such as Lesvos have become. There was rather scant information about the islands' avifauna on the internet, but enough to know what to expect, that is, rather similar to Lesvos in fact. A car was hired for the week (the salesperson was an Englishman from St. Neots! Was chased away by a Hooded Crow ...
