This week i have increasted my list to 92 and have managed to get some new shots that i hope you will enjoy.
It was Wednesday when the rain did not stop in the morning so i decided i would not go out birding even it being my day off and wife at work and children at school oh no i went shopping with out being asked instead. The time is 12 noon and i start to make some lunch for my wife (what a great husband i am) did i forgot to say but akll the housework has been done as well. What is that i hear my phone has just alarmed, it is a grape vine call reading that there is a Avocet at Pulis pond.
Only 2 miles from home I set out ( I did do her housework i am sure she can make her own lunch as i did buy lots of food at the shop earlier). The Avocet was there and what a loverly bird to bring my year list to 92 and a lifer what a great day and still got home to make lunch and a few more browny points, i must have enough for a toaster soon!
Thursday i have work all day but a spare hour opens up around lunch time and the sun is out i can not waste this chance. Grands Maries is a private pond with a loverly tree lined walk going around it. the peolpe who own it do not mind me using it and it is a great place to stand and watch smaller birds (some of which i can now ID).

It was really good weather and lots of fun as the birds would not sit still and there are lots of branches on these trees and of course they are always just the other side of some. But i managed to gets these which i think are quite nice and as Lee well tell you the Longtailed Tit is my favourite Bird ( I may have more then one). I think they have great personalty, cheeky chap.

Friday I had an hour between finishing work and picking up the children. So down to clair Mare then. The light was not as good as Thursday but if i am going to get better as a photographer then i have to be able to deal with these little problems and any chance to watch the birds.
