It was a only the briefest of views. Something fluttered past my head like a large buterfly, landed for a moment in a crevice on the cliff face before disappearing rapidly upwards. I ended up with just this one photo of the wallcreeper from a memorable encounter.
It felt unusual photographing Fieldfare gathering food for young amongst flowering alpine meadows, as they are a winter bird in the UK.
The Citril Finch, a new species for me, is a small bird that prefers the upper edge of the treeline where it meets the alpine meadows at around 1800m
White-winged snowfinch doing some downhill 'skiing'.
@jwilkes Wind can help slow them down. Watch there flight patterns and try and pick out a bird it won't always come the right way but sometimes it will.
@jwilkes Expect to delete a lot. I would suggest going in manual mode...and setting a fast shutter speed, keep lens at around F8 and push the iso up to get exposure right. I was using 1/6400s for the swifts...as they are very fast. Low sunlight is better at each end of the day.
Keeping with the Swift theme. There is a thriving colony of the much larger Alpine Swift in the middle of town 🇨🇭....impressive birds which have required some early starts before they head up into the clouds.
@WriterHannahBT No because the common ones have already left....but can still here the beautiful Alpine swifts
@jwilkes Taken a bit of trial and error...with light and camera settings...😊
@greatauk Alpine Swifts still here but leave a little later.
Always a challenging bird to photograph, the Common Swift. Most seem to have departed from here 🇨🇭now.
A male Ring Ouzel ......2000m up on the alpine meadows.
@FloraConsUK Not the most colourful of birds bit still beautiful. They have great character
Been a few years since I have had one of these in front of the camera.....the Spotted Flycatcher 🇨🇭
Not the easiest bird to photograph being so small and hyperactive....the Firecrest 🇨🇭
Time to move on from Fuerteventura and show some of the birds and mammals I have been photographing around my new home in Switzerland 🇨🇭...starting with this male Black Redstart.
Photo destroying heat haze from dark, volcanic rock on the shores of Fuerteventura can make for some difficult photography. The many wintering whimbrel on the island are accomodating, if you sit quiet and still,with resulting very close encounters reducing the heat haze issues.
@Marcus60s70s80s Yes ....sound more like crows, also very bold and confident birds.
Canarian Raven out in the desert. This is a sub species of the common Raven and slightly smaller than their northern counterparts.
