A few old favourites: birds

A few years ago we rented a large dilapidated house in a semi-rural part of Hampshire. The house was surrounded by fields and woods, and we shared the land with a wonderful variety of wildlife.

In this post I’m sharing a few of my favourite photos from the ten or so years we lived there. The theme for this post is birds.
