Cormorant (Lydney Boating Lake)

The prettiest and hungriest bird alive, which is a joke. That is why he/she is shot and abused. But, this one is still alive. Oh, its not very pretty.

Today's music is: Pentangle - People in the Highway

Grey Squirrel (Forest of Dean)

It has been opening the gates of a liquid precipitation, i.e. raining again.

Ry Cooder - Go Home Girl.

Chaffinch (Forest of Dean)

Two different Chaffinches, the first is ok, but, the second one has Bumblefoot, Avian pox. It is horrible to you and I, but, it doesn't affect the poor birds.

Mandarin Ducks (Forest of Dean)

Up to the Forest again, and I saw the male again. It was a long time since I had him in his plumage. There were 6 males 3 young ones and 1 female. A lot of work for the female.

Today's music is: Cool Water by Joni Mitchell  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY5Znl6k2v8

Coot (Lydney Boating Lake)

You know, I can't get the eyes in place.

First one, its eyes are a bit under focus:

Then there is number two, no chance:

Then there is the last one, well, they seem to have disappeared.

Music today's is: Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXqxXrjoOf0
