Hello and welcome to my second full post on this blog. I haven’t had much time to go birding or time to do anything except university work really, as I am currently writing my final year dissertation. I got to 2,000 words this morning (out of the minimum 10,000!) and so I decided I deserved a blog break.
I have included a few photographs of woodland birds that I have taken in Hampshire over the last couple of months - those of you who have seen my flickr page (www.flickr.com/photos/sam-white) may have already seen some of these shots, however they are my personal favourites and I felt that instead of leaving my blog empty for the next week or two, I would give you all some photos to look at!
So here are a few of my woodland bird shots…
Blue Tit:
Nuthatch:
Chaffinch:
Marsh Tit:
Spring Robin:
Siskin:
If you would like to use or purchase any of these images then please contact me (sam@birdportfolio.co.uk). These are low-ish resolution versions, so I will be able to provide higher resolution images if requested.
I had my first Yellowhammer of the year from my bedroom window (sadly too far away to get any record shots worth looking at) which has been a highlight of my bedroom-window-birding. There are also four Chiffchaffs in the field behind my house, a sign that summer is on it’s way - now all we need here are the Swallows and we’re there!
Here is a shot of my dog Molly, who probably isn’t a great help when I go birding here:
I tried to mask her dopey and playful personality here by trying to capture the fierce greyhound deep within 
I’m going to Portland over Easter weekend, so I may post some more ’sets’ of images between now and then depending on what you, the readers, think! Leave a comment below, you don’t have to sign up or anything it’s all moderated by myself. And after Portland, expect many more photos, stories and therefore blog posts!
Happy birding,
Sam White.
