I visited the hide today to photograph Kingfishers, but there were tons of other birds down by the river too. Chaffinches, Bullfinches, Nuthatches, Siskins and even a little Wren.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
