WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU TODAY - 2017

Young Great Spotted Woodie.


Young Goldfinches arguing with parent.




Unusual to see a Chiffchaff on a feeder, but it just seemed to want to chase Blue Tits.

 

Two in one, first Coal Tit i've seen in the garden early this morning for over eighteen months or so and at the same time a Chiffchaff flew in, probably on it's way to the coast, both stopped very briefly but enough time to grab the camera.






Went to Brownsea Island for a couple of hours this morning but some of the birds I had hoped to see haven't arrived yet, although the Avocet numbers are increasing.
Another Kingfisher (I didn't get catching a fish) and a lone young Guillemot from the boat back.

 

Brill shots Clive

 

@strongylodon LOVE this shot -what a beauty

 

Getting stuck in.

 

@strongylodon LUV those pics stunning Bee shots and blooms

 

Thank you @BeeHappy but it was difficult in the strong winds this afternoon.

 

@strongylodon Now i LUV them all the more - what an achievement to capture such clarity

 

Rose Chafer Beetle (I don't have any roses), this amazing Beetle glistened in the sun.
I thought it deserved more than one pic.

 

I used to play Cricket. Remember one time, ball hit me straight between the eyes, never had a chance to move.

There are still a few Yellow Wagtails around building up fat reserves for the long flight South.
