Garganey at Blacktoft, we were there for a couple of hours and it never stopped feeding ! Afraid never close and with a biting northerly I felt near hypothermic ! Home for hot soup !
We have 2 banks of these insect huts in the garden. These are a mass of bees, non-stop coming and going on a sunny day. I have a video that you can watch below
Black Tern last week at Far Ings, Barton
Coot and her cootlings xx
Our local forest with masses of tree felling.......in MAY !!
A garden frog that hopped out of a winter planter
There is actually no hope for the natural world when garden centres are now selling plants that deter insects
Great Northern Diver still at Covenham Reservoir
Yellow Wagtail
She is giving him a right telling off here !!
Marsh Harrier that walked out of the reeds at Far Ings, followed by his female. He wanted a bath which he thoroughly enjoyed but it looks like she chowed at him the whole time !
The first garden spinach of the year wrapped up with a sprinkling of cheese in a breakfast omelette, served with sourdough toast and flipping delicious !
If I say so myself, I am without doubt, the sausage roll queen !!
We went to Far Ings hoping to see hobbies, we were not disappointed with 4 flying, albeit high up in the sky feeding. A stroll along the river bank and we were greeted by this lesser whitethroat singing it's heart out, oblivious to all the dog walkers and cyclists. What a cracking bird ! Then onto the hide for an hour and there was a black tern. A fantastic morning x
