Bennerley gets a little wet at last and it shows with a couple of Gadwall and a small flock of lapwing.
I really didn’t really think that Bennerley would get going this winter and it might no yet, the area dries out really quickly, so I’ll just hope for the best.

This must be the most destructive way of obtaining fuel possible, hedge-rows lost, the goodness of the soil lost and left in poor wild-life unfriendly condition for years, but just minutes before I shot these pictures two Buzzards were soaring happily above the blot !

If you carried a camera Colin the Kingfisher probably wouldn’t have turned up:-)

Looks very picturesque and some nice images too. Glad the day went well. Hopefully there will be more people feeding corn or seed in the future. Congratulations to the workers.

Cracking shot Daz and you’re right that is one beautiful fox!
A lovely sight to see Daz, and you’ve captured it well. Have there been any sightings of the bittern down there lately?
Don
Nicely captured Daz. Amazing what turns up when you have a cup of coffee in your hand.
Thanx everyone for the comments, i could not believe what i was seeing, Don, the Bittern has been seen lately, just the other day but i havent seen it.
