Bubbles

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I’m forever blowing bubbles….. Today was another dreary day, of rotten light, too much tedious stuff to do, and when I finally made it to the river, still no gulls. Among the Mute Swans and feral and Canada Geese, it … Continued

Antsy

We’re into the ‘tweaking’ phase of the seasonal proceedings now: buying strange odds and ends that haven’t made it onto previous lists, but suddenly seem as if they might be the one crucial thing that makes or breaks Christmas. Sigh. … Continued

Nemesis

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

This juvenile Cormorant has been hanging around Stratford for a couple of weeks now, but up until today it’s always managed to evade my lens. I’d even taken to calling it Nemesis. Today though, R spotted it diving in the … Continued

Haircut

It was teeming down this morning when R and I set off for Stratford, hoping to get in a walk as well as doing some shopping. By the time we parked the car in Old Town it was clear that … Continued

Baubles

by JDO | posted in: Seasonal | 0

This morning R and I launched our annual raid on the Touchwood shopping centre at Solihull, otherwise known as the Fourth Circle of Hell. Fuelled by equal parts caffeine and desperation, we swept through the halls like a pair of … Continued

Mine!

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

Among humans possession is nine-tenths of the law, allegedly, but in the world of birds it mainly comes down to an equation between size and natural aggression. If the antagonist here had been a Blackbird or a Jackdaw, I doubt … Continued

Broadway

by JDO | posted in: Buildings, Landscape, Seasonal, Worcestershire | 0

It was an absolutely horrible day, so we stayed indoors for most of it, getting stuff off our to-do lists. Towards the end of the afternoon though, we’d had enough of being in the house, so we ventured down to … Continued

R and I went over to Farmoor Reservoir this morning, where a Great Northern Diver was reported, and photographed, yesterday. Sadly, we found that it had moved on overnight, which was pretty ungenerous of it as today is my birthday, … Continued

Christmas bokeh

by JDO | posted in: Seasonal | 0

The Offspring came to see us today, and while we were waiting for them to arrive R and I blitzed the rest of the Christmas decorating. I had a bit of a panic mid-afternoon when I remembered that I hadn’t … Continued

Coordination

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

It poured with rain for much of the day, and I was dubious about the Met Office forecast that we were due a late spell of sunshine, but as I came out of the supermarket early this afternoon I realised … Continued
