Using One's Initiative

An insecure bird feeder

"Hello, what dastardly tricks are afoot here, someone has left the top of the feeder off, or a certain bird has removed it"

"I see, that's what you are up to"

"Anything that Coal Tit can do"

"Dont think I can get down there"

"I certainly can't, this one is shut"

Parkland Geese

These are some of the Hybrid geese that live in the local parkland

They are an assortment of colours and cross breeds that have evolved over time. They make a nice image to look at with their varied plumage

They also mix with the flocks of purebred Greylag and Canada geese that also reside in the parkland

The second of two posts showing scenes observed during my latest walk around the local parkland

First of two posts showing scenes from my walk around the local Parkland

Conducted the morning after our latest snow storm

The scenes really speak for themselves 

Try not to get too cold looking at them{:)

The Redwing

One bird that I try to photograph each winter is the Redwing. 

Similar to a Song Thrush with red sides is the best way to describe the species. It visits the British Isles from October through to April.

The single images here are of one bird I found whilst walking through a wood. 

I had been following a small flock of them as they flew along a tree line and this one kindly hung around long enough for me to get these shots.

The collage images were taken of several Redwing, which I found in one of the likely places you will observe them. The floor of an orchard where they were eating the apples that had fallen.

Merry Christmas

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2011
