White-bellied Sea Eagle

I was lucky. I spotted this bird as it approached along the shoreline and manged to grab some decent shots

A lifer for me. A bit smaller than our Northern Gannet, but a similar shape and similar fishing method.

I spent a very rewarding few days in Norfolk last week. There were lots of highlights but spending a few hours with a group of short-eared owls was certainly amongst the top:

These were at Welney - the WWT nature reserve. On the first day I visited there was also a barn owl hunting close by at midday.

Excellent, thank you

It seems that this was my year for seeing White-bellied Sea Eagles.

 

I got shots in Australia but then we saw no fewer than 4 of them in Goa as well, although the light was not nearly as good as Australia

Swallows are always a challenge and these Barn Swallows were no different

 

 

 

 

[Peter Connan]

Lovely shots!

[Peter Connan]

More Barn swallows.

 

 

Wish I'd got more than half the bird...

[Peter Connan]

And a couple of more colourful fellas.

Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) about 20 miles ESE of Oregon Inlet, North Carolina on February 5.   It was maneuvering to dive on a school of baitfish (AKA bait ball) driven to the surface by Little Tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus).

 

[Peter Connan]

Beautiful shot @offshorebirder!

 

Apparently the most common bird in the world, but quite pretty when one looks close enough.
