Chaffinch (Forest of Dean)

Well, I was at Slimbridge WWT again. But, I haven't had the time to sort them out, the pictures. So here I go, with a couple of the Chaffinch I took during this week.

Meadow Pipit (Lydney, The Marshes)

The Meadow Pipit was on rock, it should have been a Rock Pipit, but, it wasn't. Bad news. Blah, blah, blal, that's me, gibbering.

Willow Warbler (Lydney Old Rubbish Dump)

This morning wasn't any good for photographing, but, it was later in the afternoon. I caught sight of the Willow Warblers, there must have been about ten or twelve darting between branch to branch. It was lovely to see.

This is the first time I have put up the female Wheatear, and she is beautiful, unlike the male, I think.

Swallow (On a cars aerial)

There I was, happily going about things, when I noticed a Swallow standing on a cars aerial. Out comes my kit, ie. photographers, took a snap. I thought that they had left, but, it was still a breath of summer left. They should have been in Africa by now. But, no.

Cormorant (Lydney Boating Lake)

The prettiest and hungriest bird alive, which is a joke. That is why he/she is shot and abused. But, this one is still alive. Oh, its not very pretty.

Chaffinch (Forest of Dean)

Two different Chaffinches, the first is ok, but, the second one has Bumblefoot, Avian pox. It is horrible to you and I, but, it doesn't affect the poor birds.

Mandarin Ducks (Forest of Dean)

Up to the Forest again, and I saw the male again. It was a long time since I had him in his plumage. There were 6 males 3 young ones and 1 female. A lot of work for the female.

Coot (Lydney Boating Lake)

You know, I can't get the eyes in place.

Mallard Duck (Lydney Boating Lake)

It rained this morning which is a bit late. I got out at approximately 11.30hrs. This made it immediately 3 hours to play with, not enough. So, I didn't get much.
