Love

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I’ve been so busy recently that seven weeks have somehow slipped past since my last visit to Compton Verney, but I managed to remedy that situation this morning, and spent three happy hours at the lake. Few things unscramble my … Continued

Sustenance

I made a return trip to Compton Verney this morning, ostensibly to get some fresh air and exercise, but actually to check on the great crested grebe I posted about ten days ago, about which I’ve been worrying slightly ever … Continued

Alone

I went to Compton Verney today, for the first time since March last year. The estate has stayed open to members for outside exercise throughout this past winter, but because we live over half an hour’s drive away, R and … Continued

The better weather we were forecast duly arrived today, though it was pretty cold, and the wind was almost strong enough to lift you off your feet. Clouds were rolling through so quickly that the light changed by the minute, … Continued

Your feet’s too big

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

Not than I’m moaning (I never moan, as you know), but… you wait two years for a half decent photo of a great crested grebe, and then 78 come along at once. So today’s processing may take a while – … Continued

Smug

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Worcestershire | 0

Is it just me, or do great crested grebes always look particularly pleased with themselves? Don’t get me wrong, I’m very fond of them, but that secretly knowing smirk is unnecessary, I think. I’m sure this will look better full-screen, … Continued

Humbug

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Worcestershire | 0

I had a bizarrely quiet walk around the reserve at Upton Warren today – there were hardly any birders about, and not many more birds – but I was charmed by this juvenile great crested grebe with its humbug stripes. … Continued

Super-size me

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

Grebe

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

It being a fairly dour day, R and I finally got round to overcoming our usual inertia, and doing something we’ve talked about for a while: we took a trip over to Compton Verney and bought an annual membership. The … Continued
