Owlday

All the rushing about I’ve done this week finally caught up with me today, and I’ve been in quite a lot of pain. Common sense dictated a quiet day at home – but where would be the fun in that? … Continued

Pintail

I don’t think there are many more elegant ducks than the male pintail, even when he’s snoozing in the sun. With spring – and love – very definitely in the air at Slimbridge today, he was keeping one eye on … Continued

R and I did gardening this morning (eeeurgh). We finished pruning an old leylandii hedge that was planted by our predecessor, and then dealt with the phormium – in the end we cut it back hard, and then R transplanted … Continued

Feeling tired and grumpy this morning, and with bad weather forecast for the end of the week, I decided to spend today at my current happy place. I took out membership of the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust about a month … Continued

Shelducks are relatively big birds – somewhere between a mallard and a small goose in size – but you’d need to be elephantine to be unperturbed at the thought of a crane landing on you, and these drakes were thoroughly … Continued

A good day today, in terms of both birds and photography. I made a snap decision, despite an iffy weather forecast, to zoom down to Slimbridge, where I promptly bumped into one of the regular owlers, heard all the owling … Continued

Feral

I’ve chosen to feature this photo because I don’t think I’ve ever taken anything quite like it before, and though I’m not sure why, I rather like it. I was walking out of a nature reserve in the Cotswold Water … Continued

I chose a great day for a trip to WWT Slimbridge: even the staff were congratulating each other on today’s light, and though it wasn’t exactly warm, the temperature was pretty comfortable for walking around with heavy gear. I went … Continued

Another day, another Great Northern Diver – but this time in lovely light. Getting up to the first nice day in what felt like weeks, I zoomed off to Lechlade in search of the second of the two GNDs currently … Continued

Super-size me

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Gloucestershire | 0

Apologies for the distance, and the light, but this was just too good not to photograph. Being a fairly chaotic person I don’t have many rules for life, but one that has stood me in good stead is Never eat … Continued
