I spotted this blackbird on my Christmas Eve walk the other day. He was keeping a close eye on my from his vantage point in the hedge, and I managed to get a shot before he flitted away 🙂

Curious Sparrow
At the weekend I spotted this sparrow in a slightly incongruous location on this electricity pole. I was peering at it and it peered right back, stretching up to see me over the top of the barbed wire!
Less Elusive Pheasants
We often hear Pheasants when we’re out walking – they have a pretty distinctive sound. But the only times I usually see them are when they are on the roadside and I’m driving somewhere.

Sorry about the patchy posting. I would love to get back into a regular rhythm but the weather, the drugs and the pain are all against me! When I have time to take photos or sort out a post, I’ve been mostly in a heap sleeping because codeine sucks the life out of me! The…… Continue reading Robin
