175/365v3 – In The Hedgerow Today

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.

173-365v3 – Shawl

My early morning walk did not elicit anything of any great interest today, so time for a quick plug of my wife’s Etsy store, The Crimson Rabbit, I was summoned to photograph her latest shawl which is, I’m sure you will agree, very pretty and perfect for a bride…

171/365v3 – Maurice Gill

I popped across to the Suffolk coast this afternoon to have a look at Shingle Street. If you ever want a good work out just take a brisk walk up and down this stretch of coast! I’ve seen some great pictures of this area, unfortunately I didn’t know if the

170/365v3 – A Brief Sunrise

We’re getting to the time that the sun is already coming above the horizon when I set off for my morning walk around Dunmow…that’s not always a disadvantage. When you have a lot of cloud cover a brief break in that cloud cover can give quite a nice look to

169/365v3 – He Doesn’t Want To Make Them Cry or Sing

This is the headstock of my very old, but trusty Fender Stratocaster that I used to “…make them cry or sing” when I played Dire Straits “Sultans of Swing” live in a pub in Leeds (when I say Leeds I mean out in the sticks in the back of beyond!).

168/365v3 – Bit of a Blunder!

I was up and about early this morning on my walk around Dunmow with my little Sony A6000 which I use when I want to keep the weight down. Whilst it wasn’t a particularly nice morning, a bit drizzly and heavy cloud cover I was happily clicking away, I got

167/365v3 – Blackbird (Turdus merula)

Another local bird today, a blackbird who visits our garden everyday for a meal in the bird house. His wife is not usually far away. We also now have a pair of Collared Doves and a pair of Robins visiting…well, it is Valentines Day…

166/365v3 – Dunnock (Prunella modularis)

Walking back from my early morning walk I saw a couple of these small birds in the hedgerow. Unusually they didn’t take one look at me and leg it, so I got a reasonable shot of a bird for once. I originally thought this was a Wren but with a
