Down at the bottom of the garden

ByDawn

Tried an early start in the garden yesterday, the light was really nice. Also tried out a new hidey hole, the same bush, but the other side. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze, but the birds seem more relaxed!

Here’s a Collared Dove,

This young Blackbird kept me company for a while,

 

Finally the Turtle Dove put in a brief appearance, but seemed rather nervous today.

This weekend I decided to explore these instead of heading to the Fen. The closest reserve is an area of heathy common, with short rabbit grazed turf, and prickly gorse bushes. There’s a…

I have been extremely fortunate to visit this enigmatic country recently on a family holiday, a trip of a life-time. Naturally my camera came with me, and naturally, I had to investigate the local wildlife. I’ve a lot of photos, of course, so…
