My OperaA Day of Variety
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:47:19 PM
After yesterday's buzzard extravaganza, it's time to show a little more of the variety of local bird life. I'll begin with the harbinger of summer, and yes I have seen more than just one of these.
Swallow, taken yesterday
And one of a pair I saw this morning.
I also saw some ducks this morning, not near a pond but out over the fields.
Taken towards the sun
And a more conventional shot
There was also a blackcap, one of the more easily identified warblers
The young rabbits were out in the sunshine at lunchtime
And so were the young squirrels
A mistle thrush was feeding in the grass
And, yes, there were buzzards as well.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.
