Happy New Year 2014

    

I AM OUT TONIGHT, SO I'LL WRITE TO EACH OTHER TOMORROW

Waxwing [Bombycilla garrulus]

The waxwing is a plump bird, which is slightly smaller than a starling. It has a prominent crest. It is reddish-brown with a black throat, a small black mask round its eye, yellow and white in the wings and a yellow-tipped tail. It does not breed in the UK, but is a winter visitor, in some years in larger numbers, called irruptions, when the population on its breeding grounds gets too big for the food available. [RSPB]
Sorry I'm late, I had important things to do.

Puffin [Fratercula arctica]

Not too long before it is 2014, but I'm putting up some of my old photos.

Coot [Fulica atra]

Black Crowned Crane [Balearica pavonina]

This one you have seen part of it. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara.

Moorhen [Gallinula chloropus]

Lovely morning and most of the afternoon. As you can see.

Happy Holidays.

Blues Night (nearly)

Coal Tit [Periparus ater]

Redwing again, again, again, again, again, again, again, etc, etc, etc,

Thank you everybody who said nice things of my mum.

I am sorry, but my mum has died. I won't be able to write back. Sorry.

This one is the song of Jim Reeves, my mum favourite.

Treecreeper silently moves up the tree.

One day, I'll get a good picture.

I fell upon this little bird, happily wagging it's tail.
