November 14th and 15th

I put the title as both days but they were pretty much the same! Very misty starts indeed, this morning I did have about 10 minutes of better light before heading to work. On the bird front there were some more nice close views of GOLDCREST and yesterday 2 GREEN WOODPECKERS posed in the mist just visible in a small pear tree. I think I'll let the pictures do the talking with a few from this morning then a couple of photos taken while I was on lunch at work today, when the light was better.

These were about 20 yards in front of me, they are Pheasants, by the way!!

So I took a photo of something closer!

The Sun was on it's way

About as good as it got!

I actually manged to get to the car and back before it flew off :-)

It did eventually go though!

Alan Pavey said...: Hi Warren, thanks, this Kestrel has been using the same perch for years, it was nice to have a go at getting a picture of it.

Hi Greenie, thanks, I think there is a slight difference between the 2 pics but you have to look closely :-)

Hi Alan,thank you, the light helped a lot.

Hi Christian, it was a struggle for the sun to get going!!

Hi Ramon, thank you for your comment, I'm glad you like the Sun picture.

Hi Mike, thanks, any half decent pictures are a real treat for me as they are few and far between :-); 17 November 2011 at 06:43
