UK Wildlife

There not the only family though, as I spotted further up in the none tidal part of the river a couple of grey wagtail fledglings, here is one of them

They were calling out, and sure enough a parent turned up with a beak full of food

before stopping for a rest

Also near the cottage is a fledging family of blackbirds, as indicated by this fella (and its siblings)

I also spotted buzzard (and possibly another)

Today (Sunday) after the zoo we paid a quick visit to Brixham Marina, where many fish and crabs could be seen by the marina wall, but were a pain to photograph, like most things underwater

Back in Tuckenhay, I managed a photo of the resident (as far as Im aware - I've seen them both days I've been here anyway!) Egyptian geese, a species Im more than with from Regents Park.

Wildlife wise I've also spotted a little egret, nesting house martins and swallows and overflying swifts so far.


Today I also tried some more scenic shots. Here is shot of the River Harbourne estuary

A view of the Bow Creek Estuary

This shot of some trees on the hill between bow creek and the River Harbourne

And I decided in the low light (and with the inevitable low shuter speeds) to try a low shutter speed shot of flowing water - not bad for a first attempt

Off to the Eden Project tommorow probably, so expect something to do with that - or maybe some zoo photos. Also my 30,000th photo!
