Feeding Frenzy

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 11:17:31 PM

They look so calm and gentle when they're at rest...


But come lunchtime, and come the bags of bread, they take on quite a different aspect. Feeding Frenzy!!!!














Meanwhile, the pied wagtail thought better of joining in. smile

Last of the Snow and Ice

Monday, February 13, 2012 11:23:14 PM

, , ,

The thaw is well advanced so I expect these are probably the last of the snow and ice shots from the past week or so. The first couple were taken early this morning through a heavy mist (but rescued a little in the processing). I think they're fieldfares (but I could be wrong), taken long range.




The rest were taken at lunchtime. it was still overcast, but the mists had cleared and the ice was continuing its rapid retreat. Still, there was enough for the pond-walkers to enjoy.

The last remnants of the snow are disappearing from the garden. Here are a few more recent shots picked up on the trail cam. The fox is the elusive vixen.

Ringed Plover and other coastal birds

Saturday, February 11, 2012 11:29:25 PM

To make a change from all the snow, which is still lingering on the hills, I went down to the coast at Rottingdean today. A few of the usual suspects were there, plus some less common birds. Among the regulars are the fulmars. I liked this image of a nesting pair.


Less usual was that they were also resting out on the calm surface of the sea.


There was another small flock on the water, and these definitely count as 'unusual': great crested grebes. It's the first time I've seen them at sea. They were a long way out. Not a great shot, but you can just about make them out here.


The next shot is also a bit iffy, but it's a great image for comparing the size of a herring gull and a kestrel. This was taken at the top of the cliffs at Telscombe Tye.


Back down at sea level, the wading birds were in evidence. There were oystercatchers...




The stars though were the ringed plovers. A small number were busy feeding as the tide started to retreat.












One last shot today. It's a diversion from my usual subjects. It's a pair of local cats which raced through the garden this morning and ended up on a neighbouring roof.
