Having just enjoyed some grapes following my luncheon (very middle class don’t ya know) Debbie, my wife, smiled and asked if i would like to see the bonus that came with the grapes? Sure, I said, what was it? I think I’d have prefered not to have known 😉 It
Another catch up post from April 2019. This one was from my first visit to the RSPB reserve at Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire. A lovely place to spend a few hours with some decent hides and lovely chalk streams with the clearest water. As I recall, it was absolutely perishing, despite
Still stuck photographing the garden, so today we have our regular winter visitor the Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba). He spends the rest of the year catching flies over Doctors Pond, but during winter, he finds lots to eat in our garden. Another one that doesn’t visit the feeders, he gets
