Not had much time out with my camera recently, so it was lovely to catch this dipper having a quick snack at the weekend. #birds #wildlifephotography #ukbirds #birding

Long-tailed tits are such gorgeous, underrated little birds. This one was carefully avoiding the thorns. #birds

Much less common than the ubiquitous Montezuma, the Chestnut-headed Oropendola is a superb bird with that gorgeous blue eye.

Small, odd, distinctive vulture. Adults are boldly patterned black-and-white, with red bare facial skin. Juveniles are brown. Immature birds show a mixture of juvenile and adult traits.
