This Zitting Cisticola sat up nicely for me for a change. Amazing that they are now breeding in the UK which was predicted many years ago but has only recently occurred. #birds #birdphotography #birding #naturephotography #Alicante

K and I’ve been out #birding in Deschutes, Klamath and Lake counties. We camped last night (Brrrrr!) but grabbed a hotel tonight. No laptop so I’m editing a pic on my iPhone. Not ideal! Red Crossbill at Cabin Lake bird blinds
