When we come back to the UK, I would like to do it in April or May. Secondly, I need a better camera. The reason being, bird watching is incredible over here. There are many Natural Reserves all over that birds flock to and we can get up close to take pictures or enjoy a few minutes to watch them.
Having said that, it is a wee bit early for some birds, but there are still many to photograph.
On the coast of Holyhead there was such a place called 'South Stack.' A 5 sterling pound taxi ride and we are here.
Below are two neat birds we found.
The 'Stonechat' bird below is very happy to perch on the heather that is quite abundant on this coastal walk high on the cliffs.
I recognized it because of it's black head and neck and the white stripe on it's neck. Short tail feathers and a red chest. At first I thought it was my beautiful Robin that I have seen all over the UK. But they have more red and orange on their faces.
This wee fella stayed still and let me photograph him easily.
This wee bird is a bit of a mystery to me? He seems to resemble a 'Warbler' of some sort. Because he is looking straight at me, possibly saying....."Whatcha lookin' at?" I can't see his eyes well enough to confirm which type of Warbler. Doesn't matter, because he is still really pretty and I like him. He had a beautiful singing voice too.
