Our local Fieldfares

















With blue sky (but a bitterly cold wind that cut you in two), we watched the Reds practicing overhead. Our local fieldfares gave us a good showing today as they dug for their lunch enjoying the rays of sun. An excellent morning. 

Happy Birthday to me !



I have had a lovely day with some nice pressies and gorgeous flowers. A fish and chip lunch at Steel's in Cleethorpes was truly scrumptious !! Happy Birthday to me xx

Self found Hooded Crow and Ravens in North Lincs !





Simon found this hooded crow just before Christmas and despite regular walks in this area, it wasn't re-found until Friday. Never close and certainly never settled, this is the closest we could get. Far better to find your own birds than stand with the crowds at waxwings ! 




And in the same area, a pair of ravens drifted over us yesterday. We see one regularly here but now there are two !

A grand day out !

















A lovely walk in the winter sun today gave us a bittern flyby and this lovely close up kingfisher.
