Garganey (River Severn, Gloucestershire)

It has been a rainy day, as usual. I couldn't go out photographing, so I was bored, bored, bored. So I went to the local library, and if you look at the "about me" section, you will know that it can be ever so boring. But, I got together a sort of friendship with quite a lot of the librarian, especially Rosemary. She likes birds and quite often comes in with a new birds. Anyway, I don't go there for the reading, 'cause I can't, but, they have a good selection of CDs. Which I can record so that you will hear at the end of blog.

  16. Beautiful photos of the Garganey Bob. It is a lovely duck which I have been lucky enough to see and photograph but not as closely as you.

    So glad you have the library to escape to but such a shame you can't enjoy the books any more :-(

    The weather is dreadful here too!

  40. Hi Bob,

    would not you say you're bored and have gone to the local library. Very nice they then good 'd's have the birds if you can not easily read.

    The Garganey is also a picture on its own.
