Happy New Year 2013

Redwing (Turdus iliacus)

And again, it is bloody raining. Stops for an hour and then, it start all over again. I am fed up with it, growl.
This was taken 1 month ago, when it wasn't raining.

Peregrine Falcon (female) (Falco peregrinus)

It is still raining, forever and a day. So, it's magic bag time again.

Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)

Drizzling, although it showed 9 mm on my rain gauge. Never mind, here are the pictures Pheasant, trying to hide away, he is not very clever!!!!!!

Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus)

Here is another one from my magic bag.

Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)

A family gathering at my mums and Dads, with brothers and wife, one only, she was ill. So, I didn't do any photography but, it wasn't raining. So, I dipped in  the my magic bag.

Jay (Garrulus glandarius)

Nice morning today. No time to lose, off out to do some birdwatching.

Merry Christmas

Pintail (Anas acuta)

Nice morning today, but it gradually fizzled out about midday. But, I'm about to tell you, that it will be a washout for the next 5 days, that means, christmas is one of them. Ohhhh.

Juvenile Japanese Sika Deer (Cervus nippon)

It has been a lousy day again, so, I thought that I would dive into my magic bag one more time.

Um, I like this, it reminds me of a track on a Neil Young album.

European Magpie (Pica pica)

Nice morning, nice enough to go out and birdwatch.

Inca Tern (Larosterna inca)

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, webbed feet, rain,rain, slithering along, rain, rain.

It is Christmas time again, a time when all humans should be nice to each other, birds, amimals, reptiles, etc etc etc. This is the Grey Squirrel time...........

European Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula)

Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus)

Lots of things to do, not much time to waste either. A quickie today.

Absolutely brilliant.

Now, this makes a change, its mushie time at the moment.
