So that still leaves today. I thought that I would take a trip to Berengrave Nature Reserve. But first there was a knock at the door, it was my neighbour she had stabbed herself opening a bottle. Don't ask coz I don't know. Anyway she is 83 so she can do stupid things if she wants to. You don't have to be 83 to do stupid things. I patched her up and away she went, it is going to hurt tomorrow.
Off to Berengrave, still dull and no gaps in the cloud. I looked round and there was only one Dove sitting in a tree that I could see. I did find some interesting tree that had blown over, some years ago.
Some of these were laying on the path and some to the side. Just imagine what they were like years ago.
Coot |
After this I got home and there were two Greenfinches on the feeder.
No Red head so I think they are females |
It has take over two months for them to start feeding here, so I hope they come back.
That's it for today. Please: fingers xxx for Blean Wood to morrow
Nice Coot?? if that is what it is, I dont know I'm new at this.

ReplyDeleteI'm going to keep taking pictures of Daisy at least I know that she is a female.
ReplyDeleteChris, I think Eileen has after holiday blues, but I don't mind as we have always been like this.
ReplyDeleteShe is right I do only know Pigeons and Dove, but with Eileen's help I am learning.
It is a little brighter today but they say it won't last (:-(
So now I know that it is a baby Goldfinch, no books on babies.
ReplyDeleteI think with the Coots and Moorhen's I just get mixed up, so thank's Eileen
