A close-up photo of a Little Grebe swimming peacefully on calm, murky green water.  The bird is positioned in the centre of the frame, facing towards the left as viewed, and is captured from a slightly elevated side profile. Its compact, rounded body sits low in the water, and its damp, textured feathers are intricately detailed with tiny droplets of water.  The bird's plumage is a soft gradient of brownish-grey tones.  Its cheeks and throat are a lighter, warm buff-cream colour with a dark eye and a relatively short, pointed, dark bill with a touch of pale yellow/orange at the base and tip. The water surrounding the bird is a muted, brownish-green shade with gentle ripples radiating outward from its body and a soft reflection its head.

Common darter (male?) briefly resting among the bullrushes in Trottick ponds. They suddenly appeared when the sun was shining strongly enough with one bopping my hat as it passed.

As requested on Mastodon, so I thought I'd post them here too, more of the Blue Tit Bathtime.

#ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #UKbirding #ukbirds


Blue Tit perched on the rim of a gutter staring into cameraThe Blue Tit is now in the gutter with just part of the head showing over the rim as it takes a bath, water droplets can be seen against the shadow areas.
Back onto the gutter rim, a soggy Blue Tit starts to shake out its feathers.Looking very bedraggled and definately a bad hair day!
