Random Poppys.

A poppy field that I snapped on the way to work today,

a bit of sunshine wouldve changed everything

to Bee or not to Bee?

Spent a few minutes in the garden yesterday, trying to get some close up Bee shots..

A lot of pollen on the legs..

Feeding time at the Great Crested.

A few things spotted today at Mapledurham Locks.
A Great Crested Grebe & an Egyptian Goose family. Common Tern and some Kingfishers. etc.

A good day.

The parent was very successful at fishing.

A hobby for some - tea for others.

Sunday afternoon and after working for the last two days in the heat and burning sun, plus a hangover that prevented any decent cycling, decided to go for a walk up Snelsmore via Sainsburys for a proper cooked brekkie!

After Sains decided to hit the Hide in Newbury and see what was there.. before I knew it 2 hours had passed as I sat watching Hobbys take Dragonfly etc. over the lake.

Amazing to watch them fly at high speed then throw their talons at a Dragonfly, sometimes just inches above the water..

The shots are blurred, but im happy with the results... fast and in the distance - but you can see the feet up, just before the catch..

Not a bad afternoon!

Ahhhhh

Snapped this cute family on Greenham Common yesterday.

Where's Woody?

Stumbled across a Great Spotted Woodpecker nest one day at work, so returned with camera and am quite pleased with the results.
