Golden-crowned Kinglets today. In the same Family (Regulidae) as the Ruby-crowned, but not in the same Genus - only two in this Family. Golden-crowns move at near light speed, and can be very challenging to photograph. The mantra is - patience - spot focus - very reactive lens - high shutter speed - split shutter from focus - watch and try to anticipate where they will land - patience. A fun challenge.

Always a thrill to see this gregarious, active birds. They overwinter with us, arriving in October and departing in late March (typically).

Having not manage to get out with my camera for about 2 weeks, we gambled with the weather today. The first bird we saw as we pulled into the car park of Grafham Water today, was this wet Kestrel stood on a flimsy branch drying its wings like a Cormorant.

Yesterday, I heard a ruckus in the yard, and looked out to see this gorgeous female Sharp-shinned Hawk with her prey, a White-throated Sparrow, standing on the snow. I went to get my camera, but figured she wouldn't stick around. But, as it turned out, she flew up to a branch about 25 feet away from me and leisurely dined for about 15 minutes.
