Hopefully some of you will have read my Mal tribute post. Anyone fortunate/ unfortunate enough to meet me in the field will also have seen Mal's camera - it's permanently slung over my shoulder.
As a treat and because it is absolutely wetting down outside, I thought I would share my top ten photos from 2024. They might not be photographically perfect, but I delight in each of them for various reasons. Not least that they remind me of Mal and keep his camera in the field...
 |
| Grey Phalarope - a storm blown bird luxuriating on a lido in southern Spain |
 |
| Bearded Tit - taken on my much loved Blythburgh patch |
 |
| The humble Kestrel - a thing of beauty amidst a weekend at Frampton with the less beautiful Jonny Holliday and DDL |
 |
| Griffon Vulture - another from Southern Spain. Possibly my favourite photo I've ever taken |
 |
| Thekla Lark - Mallorca. On a family holiday with Jonny Holliday. It was the Holliday's holiday - not mine |
 |
| White-fronted Geese - from Southwold in the first winter period |
 |
| Scaup - a super confiding bird from Welney WWT |
 |
| Black-winged Stilts - another from the Mallorca trip |
 |
| Golden Eagle - taken on my way up to do the Loch Ness Marathon. The marathon went really well till mile 22 - then less well to mile 26 |
 |
| Little Swift - another from southern Spain. Just superbly cool birds. I mean just look at it. |
Without the Hollidays holidays you are nothing I tell ya!
