Sleight of beak

I don’t know how you do prestidigitation without opposable thumbs, but there was a definite hint of a magic trick about this. I had the camera trained and focused on this Wren for several seconds, shooting on burst, during which … Continued

I thought I’d take a trip out to Whelford Pools today, to see if I could catch up with the vagrant juvenile Purple Heron that turned up there about ten days ago. Knowing how small the car park is, I … Continued

It was a dull and murky morning, and when R suggested coffee at Hillers I jumped at the chance to get out of the valley. It’s possible that I may have eaten an industrial quantity of cake as well, which … Continued

Most of England has suffered far less from Storm Babet than Scotland has, but even in the Midlands we had very heavy rain overnight, and woke to flash flooding this morning. Living in a valley as we do, it was … Continued

Another supermarket delivery fail had me back in Stratford this morning, where despite the sunshine there were no Migrant Hawkers out because it was only 10°C. This is far closer to the seasonal average for mid-October, but still a bit … Continued

Changeover day

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

This morning at Lucy’s Mill, while photographing Migrant Hawkers, I was moaning at some innocent civilians about the lack of tufted ducks in Stratford, and blaming the unseasonably warm weather for causing them to delay their southward migration. Then I … Continued

R and I had booked a block of time this afternoon to check each other’s tax returns before submitting them. It was also forecast to rain later in the day. These two facts were depressing enough for us to feel … Continued

After faffing around all morning, trying and failing to decide what to do, I finally got a grip and took myself off to Slimbridge. I had low expectations of this trip, which usually pays, and in the event the weather … Continued

The Boy Wonder had a better night, thank goodness, and thus so did I. This morning he was beautifully cooperative with all our preparations to take him back to Wales, on the understanding that we’d use any spare time we  … Continued

I made a snap decision this morning to go to Slimbridge, for the first time in a while. The whole site seemed strangely quiet, but I still had a good day, logging thirty seven species of which four were new … Continued
