I want to start with this Tree Sparrow, I remember there being lots of these around Guilden Sutton in Cheshire when I was a child, yet now I dont think they are seen in the village at all.
The Tree sparrow was taken at Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve West Yorkshire, this next shot was a Kingfisher also taken at Fairburn, Its the only Kingfisher I've photographed this year so thats why its here.
It was a very grey day and he only made a few fleeting visits, but I was so pleased to get him at all.
The next shots are two birds that are very similar, infact they are cousins. I love both of these pictures.
This first is the Meadow Pipit.
and its cousin the Tree Pipit.
Two lovely birds I hope you would agree. The first was taken on Anglesey Island, North Wales, near to the cafe at South Stack. The second was taken near Abergavenny in Gwent, South Wales. It was taken earlier this year whilst I was trying to get the Mamora's Warbler.
I haven't got many mammals this year, but I did manage a shot of a poorly hedgehog, It has to be one of the smallest hedgehogs I've ever seen and despite the fact that it was obviously poorly it was nice to see him.
I was really chuffed to get this next shot, the first I had of this little wader. A Curlew Sandpiper captured at Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve.
I still have a few more shots to go through so there may be a part 3. Come back and see.

These are some of my favourites of this year, especially Kingfisher. I know it isn't the Curlew Sandpiper or the Tree Pipit, but, I love the way the Kingfisher is standing there, brilliant!!
Thanks Bob
