053-365v4 A 10% Chance

There is a 10% chance (actually 9.26%, but forgive my artistic licence) that a picture of this tree will appear in a random search of this current 365 project. It’s the 5th time I have chosen a picture including it. It’s the best tree on my morning walk, but today

052-365v4 Catkins Galore

A quiet day, no rat action to report and I took a whole host of photographs, none of which really inspired me. This is the best of the bunch. The twisted willow has produced a huge number of catkins, a small number of them can be seen here. I hadn’t

050/365v4 Spring peaks over winter’s sill

On my morning walk it really felt like spring was just around the corner. It helps that my walk now starts at sunrise rather than stepping out into the dark and the temperature has improved hugely over last week. You can see in today’s image of my favourite local tree

042-365v4 Peek a Boo

Limited opportunities for photography today, so I just have a bit of a grab shot of this A Dunnock (Prunella modularis) who was keeping a close eye on me as I moved around the kitchen. They love the twisted willow and spend quite a lot of time in there, but

016-365v4 How to Spike Your Hair

This lovely Blue Tit was busy moving back and forth to one of our feeding areas and he settled in this Maple tree to finish his seed and then sort out his hair. I love the colour pallet on this shot, it’s not the usual colour pallet that we get

Buzzard Fly Past

We had our weekend walk around Rowney Woods near Saffrom Walden and saw a couple of Buzzrads flying in the distance. Unusually, 1 of them left his usual area and gave us a fly past as he headed off to pastures new.

Birds of a Feather

This female Sparrowhawk caught her dinner in our back garden – I noticed the fact when I walked into the kitchen to make a cup of tea…you couldn’t miss all those feathers. I was able to pop my lens through the cat flap to get to the birds eye-level and
