Garganey (River Severn, Gloucestershire)

It has been a rainy day, as usual. I couldn't go out photographing, so I was bored, bored, bored. So I went to the local library, and if you look at the "about me" section, you will know that it can be ever so boring. But, I got together a sort of friendship with quite a lot of the librarian, especially Rosemary. She likes birds and quite often comes in with a new birds. Anyway, I don't go there for the reading, 'cause I can't, but, they have a good selection of CDs. Which I can record so that you will hear at the end of blog.

Moorhen chicks (Lydney Boating Lake)

Some people think that the Moorhen chicks aren't very nice, but, I think that they are glorious. Sit back and enjoy for a few moments.

Blackcap (Lydney Waste Ground)

A day off the rain.

Female Large Red Damselfly (Next to Canal, Lydney)

Guess what??????? It has been raining, makes a change, lol. I picked up this one yesterday, it is a beauty. I wasn't quite sure so, I emailed to Andy Carey http://andrewcareyphotography.co.uk/index.htm to find out if I was right. Actually, I wasn't, part of its name I got wrong. Andy is never wrong, damn it.

Wheatear (River Severn, Lydney)

It was nice this morning, sunny and the wind had stopped. I went about my spotting and I got one straight away. The Wheatear. It was letting me photograph it from about 5 meters, so I didn't spoilt it.
