Look, it’s been raining, and I’ve only just got up, and I’ve not had time to brush my hair…

You’ve heard of a bird in the hand…well here’s a Sparrow in the tree…doesn’t have the same ring to it really 😉

I always think that I’ll spend a bit of time on these sort of anniversary shots like the 250th shot of the year…I always either don’t realise it’s the anniversary or I simply don’t have the time or opportunity to get a good shot…rather like today.

Look. it wasn’t ‘cos he hissed at me for no good reason…he’s a young ‘un…really!

Occasionally we get the odd Greylag Goose paying a visit to Doctors Pond and this chap was a fine specimen, strutting his stuff amongst the squabbling ducks and Canada Geese. Sad to report that we are down to 4 ducklings now from the original 7.

It was all happening down at Doctors Pond this evening…with the first batch of ducklings having arrived not long ago. Whilst it took a while I can report that this youngster worked out how to get out of the pond and rejoin mother…after a few attempts of attempting to leap

I popped out to Doctors Pond this evening just as the sun was setting and photographed a small selection of the waterfowl that lives there.

My friend the Dunnock popped out of the hedgerow this morning and gave me a little song…

This morning on my march around Dunmow we had a buzzard, robins, wrens, blackbirds, dunnocks, a magpie, crows, pigeons, various finches, blue tits, collared doves and this House Sparrow who had moved into the Dunnocks hedgerow…so plenty of activity.
