Late Jan. Now we are starting to get some good clarity into a photo. This was taken at Greylake and shows a female mallard in resting mode. A very striking purple set of feathers just under the wing, click the picker to enlarge. Andrew
Late Jan. Found this lovely little Great Tit on Helland Lane just before the RSPB reserve. A very warm day for late January. Andrew
Mid Jan. North Curry Churchyard. Snowdrops. Whenever I see snowdrops I think that the rump of winter is behind us and the days are getting longer. We may well have some bitterly cold days ahead but Spring ahead is closer than Autumn behind. Andrew, (iphone)

Red Kite In Oxford!


Sitting at my desk on a lovely clear morning, peering out my skylight and I see a large crowd of pigeons fly over, I lean out the window and see that they’ve been spooked by a circling adult Red Kite. I quickly reach for my camera to snap a quick shot before it disappears into the distance.
