What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

That's an assortment of pics Zigs, I'll settle for the Bullfinch you can keep the others.

 

How I wish I'd had my camera with me today. My other half was attending hospital for a minor op and the ward was on the second floor. While I was looking out of the 'Day' room window I spotted a House Martins nest up in the eaves, no more than twelve feet from me. The parents were busy flying backwards and forwards to feed three hungry mouths poking out of the nest. They were fully feathered and obviously close to leaving the nest. So frustrating!

 

That reminded me of these 2 snaps I took a couple of days ago. The 2nd photo was not so good because I was a bit taken by surprise since I was wondering whether the 1st one was a youngster or a parent.

 

Lovely pictures Hsuh! Their nest building abilities are amazing, have you ever tried to remove one? They set like concrete.

 

Ive not seen one but i would like one to see off the huge grass snakes on my allotment
Im a wimp This secretary bird rocks

 

As google images go i think they are grass snakes,they have yellow on their heads but they getting bigger as months pass by
I think they just like being around me along with the swarm of pied wagtails x

 

I can let rats run all over me i wont flinch, i like them but snakes i'm wary!im going to have harden up to them somehow x
Its a girlie phobia maybe x

I'm so glad you made it back to us xx
