The Ruddy Darter

The Leaf falling

Creeper, I think??

It was a lovely time, nice & cuddly, but there was no birdies to speak of. But, I'll let go, cause I'm going up to the forest tomorrow.

Tufted Duck (Number 2 pond, Harbour Rd)

On the way back from birdwatching, I saw a Tufted Duck. Strange thing about him was, he didn't have any mates. Maybe he was waiting for all of them to come?

The Grey Squirrel is here again!
A burying beetle (Nicrophorus humator)

I was looking for something to photograph, and this seems like it. Beetles and Squirrels.

Jay on a tree stump near a lay-by

It was looking for something special. I will never explain quite what it is doing there, but it is news to him.

Mallard Duck (female)

It was a beautiful day, no grumbling about it. Though, I did a bit of grumbling at my photography, today left me with a Mallard Duck who was going to have a snooze.
