180-365v4 Mr Grumpy in the Rain

It’s no wonder this fledgling Starling was grumpy today. It was pouring with rain, there was no food left in the bird house and everyone had left him on his own!

179-365v4 The Mistakes We Make

It’s always a problem when you are doing these 365 projects when you rely on shots you took first thing in the morning and haven’t had chance to check before it’s time to go to bed. This is what happened today. When I looked at my images the only images

178-365v4 Housefly

Just your common or garden housefly…in the garden…at least, I think it’s a housefly, I’m no expert. We’ve had a big clear out of the garden and are waiting for a lot of the new plants to flower for the first time so we haven’t had the usual vloume of

176-365v4 Sky Replacement Day

This mornings walk was accompanied by flat grey skies and a fairly steady drizzle. It was pretty miserable and the sky tends to be a pretty important part of any landscapes. I took a few shots as basically an insurance policy so I had something in the bank for the

Coriander Flowers

174-365v4 Coriander Flowers

You may recall, I photographed our coriander a few days ago and I knew I wanted to return to it after it had flowered, so here we are. I’m not a gardener so had no clue that coriander flowered like this and shooting down with the Nikon 105mm macro lens

Roadside Poppies

175-365v4 Roadside Poppies

We always get poppies growing on the roadside on Bigods Lane. I wasn’t sure we would see them this year as the farmer has been cutting the grass verges regularly. Not only that, but one area where they usually grow had been turned into an emergency path during some flooding

173-365v4 Greenfinch

This is the first time I’ve seen the Goldfinch this year. Debbie has seen it (and its fledgling) a number of times. Unfortunately they don’t go anywhere other than the feeder in the garden and when they have had their fill they leave the garden entirely, hence you get the

Clayton House, High Street, Dunmow
2021 - 365 Project

172-365v4 Clayton House

The second (you can see the first here) shot from/of the High Street in Great Dunmow. I’ve taken occasional shots of the High Street over the years, but thought it might be a good side project to photograph all the shops etc along the High Street. It would be easy

171-365v4 Goldfinch Fledgling

We had another new young visitor today when a fledgling Goldfinch arrived with one of its parent’s. We always enjoy the Goldfinch visits and I think this is the first time we have (knowingly) seen one of their fledglings.
