I know, I’ve already ‘done’ the magpie, but this is an Action Shot!
Also, I’ve had a week off, as there was:
- Christmas… and New Year…
- No way of getting down to the watermeadow, due to it being waterlogged…
- Nothing new to see in the bits I could get to, which was the Ramp and Vole County.
I’m still hoping to get a better picture of a magpie. I keep improving with the kestrel photos, so fingers crossed.
Storm Henk, and all the storms before it, drove the birds under cover. However, for the last few mornings, the wind has dropped for a while – only to return with gusto later on – and we have heard the beginnings of a dawn chorus. So, we know they are all out there. The birds that I have seen in the last two weeks have included the great tits, blue tits, sparrows, crows. All the usual suspects. And some brown birds that could have been anything, but I couldn’t get close enough to ID them. And wagtails, but I have yet to see them down in the watermeadow, they prefer hopping about on the rooftops.
