[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Birds of Britain's woodlands are declining so rapidly that some appear to be on the road to extinction, a study reveals today.


A suite of woodland species, from the nightingale to the spotted flycatcher, fell by more than 50 per cent between 1994 and last year, according to the report of the annual Breeding Bird Survey, run by the British Trust for Ornithology, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. The willow tit has declined by 77 per cent over the period and is extinct over much of Britain. But other declines are nearly as bad: since 1994, wood warbler has declined by 67 per cent, nightingale by 60 per cent, spotted flycatcher by 59 per cent and pied flycatcher by 54 per cent. Lesser spotted woodpecker has declined so much that it is too rare to monitor accurately on a national basis.

Over the past 30 years declines of Britain's farmland birds have been the main concern, with grey partridge and corn bunting falling nearly 90 per cent because of the intensification of agriculture. Now woodland birds seem to be going the same way – but the causes are much less obvious.

Ciao Mohammad, superb composition with lovely bird in great pose, fantastic colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Mohamad,
Decline of bird population seems to be the case everywhere. Here in India also we are facing the same.Nightingales are not very common on TN. So thanks for uploading the picture.Seems like it is perching on some thorny tree.
TFS & regards,
Smitha.

Beautiful colours.

hi banaei

I think shooting birds into the sky BG is most difficult when trying to set meter exposure and most times the result is not good. But you have faced this bravely here and came out getting a pale blue sky BG without OE. The bird is exposed well and giving good sharpness in this presentation.

Good work.

tfs, bill
