Hello again,
I did a bit of shopping this morning for my neighbour (the one who's husband is still in hospital, 5 week now). I then decided to go down to Riverside country park with my camera. I am glad that I did as I managed to wonder into an area that I have on seen before.

| A little lake full of nature |
In here was a family of Moorehens, there were four with mum.
 |
| Mum and chicks |
 |
| in and out of the reeds |
 |
| Hang on that is taste |
 |
| Where has everyone gone |
This one went off on it's own and was last seen entering the reeds
 |
| Mum and one chick |
After a while a couple came along and we started talking, there had been more duck yesterday but they thought that they may have been eaten by something, sad as I did not get to picture them.
After this I went out onto to main path.

| Barge |
 |
| Second barge |
I then started to walk round to the point.
 |
| Looking for food |
You know how I love birds in flight, well here are two, the light was all wrong but....
 |
| Just gliding on the wind |
Then a couple more shots before heading home for lunch.
 |
I don't know what this is but all my books don't show bird in these colours.
I thought it was a Goldfinch but the colour is wrong |
 |
| Heading to town |
 |
| Squadron manoeuvres |
 |
| Oh what a lazy day |
That's it as it is time for lunch
Have fun
Got to explore that site soon eh Trev.
ReplyDeleteYes it is out of the wind and on a sunny day will be nice
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely area Trev.... some great pictures.... looks like a good walk .... the unknown bird looks like a male sparrow :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteThat is what I thought when I first saw it Eileen but on the computer it looked too red on its head.
ReplyDeleteI will have another look at the camera shot and see, Ta
I have just taken another look and I think that I was right the first time, it is a Sparrow. I think that the colour changed on the screen but it is more of a brown than red.
ReplyDeleteGot there in the end
