Another shot of the daisies in the unmowed lawn. I'm trying to see how many totally different shots I can get of these little flowers...

I didn't realise until I got home, and looked at my photos, that I had taken this kangaroo on the rocks!

I have cropped the photo of course!

Best viewed full screen.

a heron in the morning sun after a cold frosty night ..... ein Graureiher beobachtet die Weiher ...... ich hatte schon gerechtet damit, einen Graureiher oder Silberreiher anzutreffen und habe deshalb bei meiner Gassirunde das 150-600 mitgeschleppt .....

After we got through Halloween, I would like to amuse you a bit with a little story which I observed in "Britzer Garten“ in the summer!

Part 1:

A heron, standing on a rock by the lake in the "Britzer Garten" is

stretching out its long neck to watching out for prey......

Australian Magpies are very vigilant birds, the see everything and miss very little. They keep watch on behalf of all the birds who visit my yard, They raise the alarm if there is danger, and sound the all clear when the danger is past. They have calls for strangers, cats and raptors; Magpies are the unsung local heroes, and truly beautiful birds. Here is a link to a video of a woman who Magpies seem to like, I hope some of you may enjoy it www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vn5sHpp3Ks

This piece of wood is probably one of the most famous in West Sussex, with many nature lovers watching it avidly for a sighting of one of the beautiful kingfishers that appear regularly at Warnham Nature Reserve.

This is the first time I've sat in a hide, encouraged to hang on by some lovely people who make a habit of visiting, from much further afield than me. The benches were hard, but the company friendly and after three hours their faith was proved right by a flash of blue and a sharp intake of breath all round.

My long lens might not be the longest or the sharpest, but I am thrilled with my first kingfisher shot - what a privilege!

Watching the snow flakes come down was a ritual! They loved trying to capture them as they drifted by the window!

I want to wake up each morning

With you for the rest of my life

I want to feel your heart beating

And just get lost in your eyes

You can tell me your secrets

You can let me feel your pain

You can show me your weakness

And never be ashamed

Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold

When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control

You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe

Hold on to me when there's no middle ground

And every emotion is comin' unwound

And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams

Baby you can hold on to me

Bird watching is a all day thing with us if is not me my 2 babies will,

Ziggy and Lara at the kitchen window looking at the garden for birdies.
