Nuthatch at Cannop Ponds

It's a Nuthatch, perusing something. I think it's probably food.

Barnacle Geese at Slimbridge WWT

Another picture from Slimbridge...........................

A white autumn at Foxes Bridge

It was cold this morning, -1.7 degrees centigrade, brrrrrrrrrrrrr. But it didn't stay that way, at about 10.45am, it all went overcast and murky. To tell you, I was cold and pleased to be going back home.

Ruddy Darter at the Marshes

Yes, it's only 7 days since I last put this up, but it is nearly November, 8 degrees centrigrade but still, it's alive!

Egyptian Goose at Slimbridge WWT

The first time I've got to show you the Egyptian Goose. I could see a lot of other things, but you will have to wait a little bit later on.

Tree Creeper at Moseley Green

Occasionally you have this thing that you don't want, its the taking good photographs, well, it seems like its turned on me, for the last 10 days. This is a Tree Creeper, yes, it is. I found it on a track leading down to the Rising Sun, a pub. No I couldn't drink that wondrous stuff BEER. I was driving a car......................

Grey Wagtail at Lydney Recreation Grounds

It was a bad day, not much going on with the birds or anything else.

Buzzard at the Marshes, Lydney

I am not very good at aerial photography, but here's what I can do!

Marsh Tit at Cannop Ponds

Another Marsh Tit at the feeding spot. It's good for those birds, and the people who go there just watch them and those that are going to feed them.

Mistle Thrush at Foxes Bridge colliery

It is here, not that it has disappeared, only hiding in amongst behind leaves. The "storm cock", (another name for them), can be heard in December calling for it's mate, and will lay their eggs in February and ready about March.

Ruddy Darter at the Marshes, Lydney

It's a nice change, better the weather. We have had the Ruddy Darter before, but with November coming along, it was very close to it's finale.

Flamingo at Slimbridge WWT

It was a lousy day, high winds and rain. I spent my day up in Cirencester with my mum & dad. They are vegetarians, like me, who tend to make good food. And, I had some apples which were lovely. I took away a lot, and I didn't even pay for them, whoopsee. Maybe I'll get it to them somehow. It is time to show you a Slimbridge Flamingo.

Blue Tit at Cannop Ponds

Don't need to say anything. I am going off to sleep..........................................ciao.

Honeysuckle at Brierley

A climber, winding itself around a dead wood. It comes into fruit about this time.

Raw at Speechouse Woodlands

Another sculpture from The Forest of Dean, and there are more.

Sparrowhawk seen in my garden

This Sparrowhawk was hiding, not very well I think. I took this shot from behind the double glazing, a real asset to the climate change, but it makes poor one for trying to photography.

Fungi at Lydney.

Here are some more, they were living on the top of earth which was just thrown there.

Fungi at Cyril Hart Arboretum

I don't know what you call it, but who cares, it is a beautiful sight.

Slimy Slug at the Marshes, Lydney

I saw this Slug, as I think have all of the site persons. They are beautiful...............................................

Fallow Deer (male) taken at Drybrook

I had to show you this photo, bad one, but it shows its new antler's.

Midge? Found at the Marshes, Lydney

Their kind doesn't bite, and in a number that is unbelieveable. I am quite sure its a Midge, but please let me know? Sorry for the photo.

Clitcybe Rivulos at the Foxes Bridge colliery

These are not the Fairy Ring mushrooms, it is the bad one, which although grows in a circular ring. Remember: DO NOT TRY THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Siskin at the Marshes, Lydney

I caught it at long last, this is a female and the male has a black splodge on his head. I'll get to a better picture some day.

The Sparrowhawk by Lydney boating lake

He's caught a racing Pigeon, but after all, it got away, perhaps it was me, I think that I surprised him. Sorry Sparrowhawk.

The Raven at Cyril Hart Arboreutm

He is stuffing his old fizzog.

The bottom of the Severn Bridge taken at Beachley

It was a gloomy sort of day, but I went out anyway. The M48 didn't take its usual traffic, it must have been the high winds.

Starling feeding chicks

I took this picture back in June '08, I was mopeing about and found this one. After all, it was raining.

Dunnock on the Marshes

I'm back at the Marshes, looking for a Kingfisher or Little Grebes, but I can't get a photograph of them. It was a lovelly morning but, there weren't any of the two birds.

Common Darter at the Marshes, Lydney

It was a beautiful day, but, it was cold................brrrrrrrr. It seems that it became colder as the day went on. I didn't take into account the wind.

Greylag Goose at Lydney boating pool

I had a meeting with Dave Morris from GLS, to discuss the fence and the gate (which is locked), by the Docks. It stopped me, (and many more who can't get through for certain reasons), going there. It's a most beautiful site. And, there are many birds, the Dunlin, Green Sandpiper, Oystercatcher, Water Pipit, Turnstone and Wheatear. Why then, can't we go and see them?
