Hello, Mitesh!
Looks like you have a fun place in which to bird.
What specie is in #s 1 thru 5? I don't believe we have that over here in the Pacific Northwest, US.
Also, I like the leg positioning and the sparkle in the eye in #8.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Thanks, I really wish I could tell you but that is really my first real time out birding, hopefully someone else will chime in.

Was a cheeky chap. Didnt mind us standing there but as soon as a camera was pointed its way, it dashed off. One more.

Looks like you all had a great day, cracking images, esecially of the Kingfisher ( Male ).The brown bird is a Wren, one of the smallest birds in the UK.

That Wren hung about for a while. Seemed to enjoy our company.

Shame the blues washed out on this.
