Some pictures from the week

All week I've been down and around the Rivelin Valley, It has been a true and fruitful week first kingfisher and yesterday when I went back to the kingfisher I saw a lot of waxwings and they are very rare here in England but in recent years it has come more o more of them. Seems like there is a shortage of food berries in the north, and that's why they're coming this way.
The kingfisher that I would try to shoot by spending some time inside the camouflauge, but as I feared, it was not there. I was waiting for it in 2 hours but it did not show up so I had to pack up and move on. On the way home, I passed a large flock of long-tailed tit's always fun to watch as they fly from tree to tree in their food search and with their chirping sound. These birds are not shy either, so you can get as close as 2-3m, but it is still tricky to take pictures of them for they are quick and usually deep in the bushes and trees.
