Wagtail by the water

This little wagtail didn't notice me sitting at the lakeside enjoying the warm spring afternoon.  He landed about 40 feet away and found an insect, which he promptly devoured.  A few minutes later,

Allsorts!

As I sat in the garden, enjoying a welcome taste of the summer, I noticed that it was time to start weeding again.  I'll probably start next week.

Spanish Blue Tit

During a walk in the Park I noticed  a Blue Tit demonstrating her Flamenco dancing skills with one foot in the air before disappearing with a lump of bread.

 

 

 

Fly on the wall..


I sat down for a rest during a walk on Saturday morning and noticed this fly on a lichen encrusted concrete post just beside me.  It is a very dull fly, but the lichen doesn't look too bad.<

Spring has arrived...

The lovely weather this weekend meant that a visit to Swan Lake was due.  I hadn't been there since last October.

First up were my favourite birds, the Great Crested Grebe.
