134-365v4 A Number Muck Up and One Harrassed Coal Tit

I’ve got 2 x 66 posts…and I really can’t be bothered working my way backwards renaming every page…so we’ve just skipped number 133, but it’s there…or is it a kind of Schrödinger’s 133… So, today we have our rather splendid Coal Tit…who’s been looking more and more harrassed as this

133-365v4 Magpie vs Monkey Nut

We spent an amused 5 minutes at lunchtime watching this magpie deal with a monkey nut that had been left out for his arch nemesis the crow. S/He clearly knew that there was something good inside and basically used a woodpecker approach to break into the shell to get the

131-365v4 A Coat of Many Colours

The Starlings are always a very entertaining bird, garrulous and always up for a punch-up. We’ve started receiving the first few Starling fledglings (or alien babies as we refer to them as). They always up the ante. So, it was nice to see this adult just settling down for a

128-365v4 Goat’s Eyes

Is it just me, or can you see a goat/ram’s face in this? I’ve decided that this shot qualifies as part of the Black and White Unite series as it is 1 image duplicated and flipped to make the final image…I saw the goat/ram’s face looking at the single image

126-365v4 Polling Day in Dunmow

Today is election day in the UK as we vote for representatives in the County Halls amongst other things, so I took advantage of being out and about and took my camera. As is often the way, especially for these local elections, it was pretty quiet at the polling station,

125-365v4 Rapeseed on Beaumont Hill

I had a somewhat easier task picking today’s image out after yesterdays glut of duckling images, there were only 3 contenders today so a somewhat quicker selection process. Usually around Dunmow we have a lot of rapeseed growing, this year, not so much, unless of course it’s late. It was
