More From The Patch and More From Before

Ow, that's a clunky title..

My attempts around the gardens of the rich and.. well, richer found tit bands, but nothing sexier than Goldcrests with them. Ho hum, onward onward..




I'm also going to put up a few more pics from Emsworthy, because I was trying for short and pithy last night and put in too many as it was.. Yeah, so the light, while unhelpful for thrush-stalking, did allow a few more scenic shots..

Lookin' at Hound Tor

With a procession wandering up the middle, I didn't even go inside the reserve..

What a poseur

And another

I'm thinking of renaming it Ouzel Tor

Much easier than pesky thrushes

Ok, now THAT is posing...

Speaking of..

"Nom!"

That's all for now, folks!


Be Seeing You..
