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

117-365v4 A View of Hanningfield Reservoir

We spent some of today walking around Hanningfield Reservoir. It’s a lovely walk, but was a bit over busy today with the lovely weather and everyone only recently out of lockdown. It’s a little worrying to see how people just march around as if their never has been a pandemic,

One of our regular visitors, the Dunnock decided today was the day for a proper brush up so he carefully avoided the actual birdbath that we have kindly provided amd decided the flooded plant pot would do much better. S/he was in there for ages and made sure she was
