I have been a bit slack in my processing of late and still have a heap of unprocessed images waiting attention. Today’s images are from two weeks ago so I imagine the chicks are a good deal larger now, if they survived. I have seen hawks hunting above the ponds where the chicks were and […]
The weather was too good today to stay in doors, so as soon as I finished work it was off to find some birds. It appears that grey warblers are the bird of choice at the moment and I am learning lots about them in the process. Two years ago my camera and I encountered
