Birds Swinging

Watching birds on the washing line swinging to and fro being pushed by the wind, on a late sunny Sunday afternoon, unfortunately rain clouds are building up again. But anyway the birds look like they are enjoying themselves.

Owls.

The owl swooped over so silently that you just felt a slight breeze . So low but so majestic a honour to see and feel an owl in the night.  The pretend owl still has its visitors now it the seagulls turn to visit!

Not Bothered

A wet miserable day brightened up by watching the birds sitting on top of the bird scarer . It’s not my bird scarer. They are not bothered about it at all.  Daffodils are slow but steady by coming through.

Fine Morning

Listening to the birds singing and in the background the honking of the geese as they flew over added  to the chorus, nature at her best this fine morning. Bird scarer no2 been put up it’s larger than the last one in a shape of an owl . A magpie is sitting on top of it!

Snow Is Here

Snow came and settled, enough for children and adults to go out and enjoy.  But it won’t be long then it will go.

Weather.

Snow then rain again. Cold grey and wet. Daffodils are still pushing through, then it won’t be long then the tulips will start coming through. Spring is just round the corner.

Magic.

A very hard frost froze most of the pond . There was patches of water for the water fowl to swim in. The golden morning sunlight highlighted the mist that was coming of the pond. A very magical moment.

Vandalism

A flurry of snow in the evening, then a hard frost during the night. Woke up to a very cold but bright and crispy morning. The bird scarer has been taken down due to vandalism by the birds!

confetti

A female blackbird foraging amongst the dead leaves, scattering them like confetti in the wind. A quiet and still, but pleasant day.

Yellow Trumpets

The daffodils are beginning to push through, and it won’t be long and their yellow trumpets will brighten up the day. Sleet is coming down quite hard and boy is it cold.

Scarer

A neighbour has put up a bird scarer in a shape of a bird of prey on their roof , is it scaring the birds away? A big no, some of the birds are trying to peck it! Back to the drawing board!

Snow Gone.

The snow left as soon as it came. A blue tit was foraging amongst the honeysuckle bush, maybe for a place for a new nest or for something to eat.

Snow.

We have got snow not enough to worry about, it’s more slush than snow.

Frost & Fox

The coldness of the frost as soon as I go out taking my breath away, but it sparkles beautifully in the night. A reflective glare from the fox as it passes by.

spider

No white stuff at the moment but cold . A beautiful winter sunset. Nature at her best. Disturbed a spider in its web looked liked it was waving some of its legs at me as to say how dare you disturb me

Birds,

Seagull and pigeon sitting on top of the petrol station roof observing what is going on around them , then a skein of geese flew over honking quietly amongst themselves.
A wet drizzly morning turned into a cold but sunshiny afternoon.

Magpie Talk

A pinkish mauve sunset . Very windy day. Magpies having a heated discussion. Would love to understand magpie talk. The robin is in his tree singing his heart out, defending his territory. Might not be the residential robin could be his ospring .

Refreshing

Late afternoons are not so dark now. A very fine drizzle in the air is quite refreshing.  Don’t know where the birds have gone none to be seen.

Warm Up.

A flock of seagulls are visiting the local pond making such a noise. It’s cold very cold, by the time the weekend is here it’s going to warm up. But the brave little violets are poking their heads .

Bin Room

More of a spring morning than winter morning, Mother Nature at her best confusing everyone! Resident robin is singing his heart out, found out were he lives by accident, he lives in a bin room out in the front and I shall leave him alone. Don’t use the bin room far to small.

Thermals On

A steel grey but very cold day, but dull. A flock of geese following thinking there is food to be had. The wind is getting bitter. Winter has finally come. Thermals are on!

2 Swans

2 swans flying overhead heading towards the park, thank goodness they didn’t leave their calling card!

Calling Card

Walked under the beech tree have nochoice to as it overhangs the path to the bus stop, a bird don’t know  which one maybe a pigeon, magpie or raven whatever which one left a calling card on my hair which was freshly washed , so must wash my hair again. Some people think it’s lucky to have that happen I am not sure!
