I never got his/her head, it was busy

My journey through the country side.

Speckled Wood butterfly in the grass.
Small Copper butterfly

The Pheasant running or should I have said walking away from me, unfortunately he went and hid someplace where he thinks that I wouldn't find him. He was wrong, down along the way that I traveling along, I found him, I just was surprised as he shot off a few metres away.

A pear planted out in the country, I wonder who did it.A Ladybird.

The Greenfinch hiding.

Gatekeeper butterfly getting old, ohhhhhh!

Apple tree in the country, again somebody who likes them.

Black-headed Gull in its first year, probably.

He/she's a young 'un alright.

Chiffchaff (Wild Lydney)

It was an absolutely shocked to catch this little fellow, he/she seemed to be happy. It darted from one leaf to another, but he stopped for a while, when it is my turn. Then, I felt happy, thanks little fella!

Buzzard..............

It drizzled all day, hence the photos. That is a beautiful place in the Forest of Dean. Some people give their sandwhiches or a chicken or even a piece of beef, not from me, I am a veggie.

We are back to that weather, heavy rain.

And the Garden Spider engulfing a Hover-fly.

Cormorant (Lydney Lake)

It was a windy day, sunshine and a few showers, light only. The wind seemed to blow away all the birds, never mind, it comes and goes. No stopping the Cormorant though.

The Mute Swan with its very big cygnets.

Eye, eye

I'm just resting.

I was too, until a dog owner let him off the lead.

Common Tern (Lydney boating pool)

I keep trying to get things right, as you know, I'm not very good at aireal photography, like these two, each time I always get it wrong, like these here without wings. Never mind, I'll keep trying.

And again........

Do you know, my pond is becoming larger.

It's raining again, again and again..........

The Whitethroat again, again, again and again.....................

Well, it's raining again.
