House Sparrow (Harbour Road, Lydney)

At Harbour Road, Lydney, there were Grey Heron, Coots, Canada Geese and birds I can't mention. And a few House Sparrows, who make it their home. This is where they stop and make little birds. Ohhh...

Raven (Forest of Dean)

It didn't last very long, the weather. But, there were some sunny intervals. Anyway, I didn't want to talk about that, I came to a place where the Ravens spend some of its time there. I caught it there, unfortunately I only got it from halfway up. Never mind!

Black-headed Gull (Cannop Ponds)

The Black-headed Gull was young. About 2nd year, I can't tell which year, because I haven't learnt it.

It was a miraculous day. LET US SHOUT OUT, IT'S A LOVELY DAY.........

A dismal day

Blue Tit
Magpie

I went out to catch something, birds, with my camera, but it was a waste of time, it began raining again. Never mind, I am happy, I think!

Red Kite at Gigrin Farm

It's the Red Kite flying above me. It is not the place, nor does it belong to this year. It was in the past that I enjoyed so much. It was taken sometime in 2006 at Gigrin Farm. It was not a rainy or snowy day, which I think there is plenty more of it to come. Ahhhhhhh...............

And now................

The Greenfinch with ever open beak.

The Barn Owl

I am playing with gadgets of the photographers. It was good fun.

Reflections on the ice.

They images weren't very good, but it was outstanding.

Long-tailed Tit at Cannop Ponds

I was a bit short of things to photograph, there wasn't any thing that is new. It was a beautiful day as well. All I really wont to do (is honey, make love to you)...................I am going mad???????????? I thought it was time to put out a little bit of sunflower hearts, peanuts and other sorts. But, I was wrong, along came the sheep , with no thought of others trying to take photographs. So, I went home.

Coot at Lydney's lake.

I had very little time today, but I did take a picture of a Coot. Maybe tomorrow's birds are a better catch.

Whitethroat

Snow, oh no!

A Kestrel at Lydney

I am not going to talk about the weather..........

Found by the water.

Common Sandpiper
Lesser Black-backed Gull

I went out this morning in search of the Bullfinches, but as you can see, I didn't get one. I can hear their call, but it was really quite gloomy and rainy. So, I went back home. Brilliant, no, I rang a mobility scooter dealer, so I can get rid of it. I've got two of of them, and I think that its bad to have so many. But, it turned rather a nice day, so I couldn't go out on this marvelous afternoon, Drat it!!!!!!!!!!!

Starlings at my home

I love them, they are magnificent when feeding and they dominate the sky with their flying in great multitudes, round and twisting, just about time to go off and land on a branch . I think that I've got to stop talking and leave it for the Starlings!

Travelling man.

Song Thrush
Greylag Goose

Blackbird

I was just travelling about the forest taking photos of anything. It was a glorious day.

Mandarin Duck at Cannop Ponds (FoD)

A pretty little bird.

Coal Tit at New Fancy.

What's for my breakfast......
I think it could be a peanut or two.....

I have got myself a lovely one to fly off with.

I didn't do anything today, I was in Hereford. These were images taken yesterday.

Brambling at New Fancy, Forest of Dean

I had awakening this morning, just when I nearly fell asleep. It came right here, and when they had of left without us, nonevents I claim. The Brambling............... What a load of drivel I'm speaking.

Blue Tit. (New Fancy, Forest of Dean)

There wasn't anything about, except those swimming. I mean, ducks. But I had left my chariot at home, and I don't to talk about that. So, I can present to you, the Blue Tit climbing a tree.

No, I've never heard of the Hawfinches on a bird table.

Picture by Richard Smart who was visiting his mother-in-laws house in Lydney. When he told me about it, I thought that the whole world had turned gone mad. But here it is, as plain as you can see.

Moorhen

Mandarin Duck

Little Grebe

After that, I'll have to rummage about in the past!

Canada Goose and goslings.

A day off to save money and because it wasn't nice weather. But, here are the cuddliest of creatures indeed.

Reed Bunting at Cannop Ponds

The male and the female Reed Buntings. Don't think they are quite cute?

Robin and a Bullfinch at wild Lydney

A morbid day, but I didn't mind that much. The Bullfinches kept cropping up, but, not too close. I'll get one of them soon, I think!

Long-tailed Tits (Cannop Ponds)

There were lots of them, all looking for a meal. But it seems a smaller image, though I needed to take off my 1.4 extender. It makes the vision clearer but without the distance.

Paper Kite butterfly (Idea leuconoe) at Symonds Yat

It was a bad day, I couldn't go photographing, so I did the weeks shopping. It was tonight that both of them, daughter and my son came to see me. And Yahna, daughter, had come around to cook me a delicious meal to eat, tonight seemed to be an Indian (no meat) from a Quorn recipe. I, and my son really thought that it was fantastic, my daughter didn't like it. Never mind.

Mute Swan at Lydney boating lake.

The weather, well, we will not talk about the weather. The swan is alright, I think!
