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

A short walk around part of Arne this afternoon.
Managed to catch a Raven at the top of a dead Pine so high up it is just a silhouette but it is black anyway.

Had a BEAUT-I-FUL Jay in perfect plumage on my garden bird bath yesterday, camera inside, conservatory door open and as soon as I moved to back away to go get camera, flit, off he went! A rare visitor for my back garden!

 

They are stunning but also extremely shy unfortunately.

 

Remember being disapointed at school when I found out the real size of Kingfishers, I was expecting something the size of a fish eagle with a name like that

 

Marvellous pics all....

@strongylodon ...love the Fox

@Scrungee ...That Robin actually looks like he's figuring out how to start it

@Jiffy ....get your gilly suit on ,I'd love to see the Kingfisher

 

On several occasions when I've been fishing on a relatively small stream, I've stopped to watch them rather than risk disturbing one on the opposite bank. I used to be fortunate enough to work in an office not far from a stream with resident Kingfishers, but was distraught to see one dead in the road over the bridge as they're prone to going over the top and getting hit by vehicles.

 

I had a helping hand whilst digging over a bed today.

 

Lovely Sheal aren't they daring little things and brave.,They're not in a hurry to get out of the way whilst we dig

 

You're right Loli, they are daring. The wheelbarrow was right beside the bed and he kept hopping down into it to see what he could pick over.

 

ive put some sheeting over an area ive dug up alas one corner isnt quite level so has a puddle! been watching the birds bathing in it all day defo going to get a bird bath for the garden now!

 

I've had a bad photography day today so please excuse the picture.

Cormorants just before sunset.

 

We have a magpie that enjoys the bathroom windowsill of one of the houses behind us. Other then that we just get seagulls.
