Birds
Freya and Alice - but what are they standing in?
Well Caught! Pelican feeding time!
And don't forget sparrows - they're getting rare now!
An egret found at The Pond
Very strange - the left hand horse chestnut is in a tub and came into leaf this month; the other one is in a tub in the ground and lost its leaves at the same time! The left hand one lost its leaves later in the winter.
The stove is almost ready to light!
John looks at the wide beaches - we had a very dry summer
A good catch - and egret and a heron
Liz is so good at spotting and photographic fungi
Barney and Wilma have a new companion
Obviously not talking to each other!
A heron in flight
We haven't given this duck a name yet!
Patrice continues to feed the birds twice a day
At last - the stove is alite!
Impressive clouds across the heath and pond - partly thanks to PhotoShop!

She's still at it!
