Guess what I've got.........................
It was dull and dreary this morning and most of the afternoon. So, I didn't hurry. Showering, eating my breakfast, answering your the mail on the blog, and there it was, in amongst email to look at, there was one. From BirdGuides..................Waxwings at Cinderford 9.15am. Well, I couldn't let it go, even when the weather was not very good. So, I jumped, well, sort of jumped, into my car and went high speed, at least 50 mph all the way there. And there it was, 8 of them, Waxwings................................. Sorry about the pictures, it was dull day.

ReplyDeleteOh Bob! You and your dull days! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know what? Those are the most wonderful dull day photos! Not every day in our life is sunny, and there is much beauty in dull days too! I am so happy you sort of jumped and went out - thank you for that! :-) Here is a hug for you!
Guaaauuu! Que especie mas bonita,nuca la había visto,saludos amigo
ReplyDeleteOooh, Bob, you lucky boy!!! Well done! I would be well pleased with those photos. They really are gorgeous birds. I went looking for some around here today but no sign. Lots of Blackbirds and Fieldfares though.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see them Bob. Great shots. Such lovely birds.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo... you got to see them after all. And dull day or not, these captures are just beautiful. A lovely bird, they are. They only stop by here briefly, too. I'm glad you got your chance with them. :)
ReplyDeletemaar je hebt ze toch maar mooi te pakken.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, bob! these are spectacular! the muted colors/light make them extra special!
