We were on a visit to Channock Chase, May 09, we were just leaving the visistor centre after spending an hour or so watching a nuthatch build a nest in a nest box, when we saw outside the car window a little blue tit flying back and forth, it took a while but eventually we noticed him/her disappearing down inside the no entry pole! very difficult to get a picture, you can just see him fly out in the top of the picture.We assume there is either a nest or building a nest going on!
Another shot of one of my best mates :) I think he likes me. Or just knows I'm going to feed him! So many blackbirds in the garden this year. Not all as tame as him.
This bathing House Sparrow was captured in our back garden in Elgin, Moray, Scotland with a Canon EOS 40D and Sigma DG 150-500 mm lens. Exposure: 1/400 Second @ f/8, ISO-400.
Een bijenhouder heeft bijen ontdekt die uit elkaar 'vlooien', zoals apen dat ook doen, en zo de mijten, die voor ziekte en sterfte bij bijen zorgen, wegwerken. Om deze 'hygiënische' bijen verder te vermeerderen gebruikt de bijenhouder KI.
Caught up at last - my local meadow today - so glad to see it hasnt been mowed and is still full of life
Imaging my surprise when I found this little Blackbird nesting in my laundry room!
I took this with a zoom lens so she wasn't any more disturbed than the usual coming and goings to the washing machine! At least she is safe from the Buzzards!...may have to wash the farm overalls somewhere else for a while!
The fields of Dandelions this year have been extraordinary and this one in Shropshire beat them all for me, it was absolutely packed with blooms - quite tall for a dandelion as well I think - and the sheep were wading through them. I guess they're wild?
Springwatch is an annual TV venture on the BBC here in UK where they visit an area of wildlife interest with livecams in nestboxes, video features of various wildlife projects, etc. It's very encouraging how much interest it generates.
This isn't regrettably our garden, but an area of the local country park.
I think the ones with black heads are coal tits? Or great tits? And the other one a chaffinch?
(I'm always iffy about varieties!) (you wouldn't think I'd lived in the countryside 23 years. don't know much beyond the obvious - trees and plants too. shameful)
