Observation Skillz

When messing about in the woods, you have to learn to see neither wood nor trees.

At least, if you want to see little birdies, anyways.

Sometimes it's not

that difficult...

Sometimes it is...

There is one bird in each picture, not of the same species.

I spent much of the day messing about in the woods about the Moor's fringe, as despite the frisky wind, the Sun was shining. Redpoll and Siskin in mixed bands [though always about 4:1, never evenly mixed..??!?] really enlivened things, but never sat still enough close enough for me to get on pixels.

 

Catkins are far

better-behaved.

Also spiders,

like this Araneid sp.

Mandarins,

less so.

Let's have some more Sprawky glory;

"I meant to

land like this"

"I know you're in there,

little Blue Tit"

"Fine, I can wait..."

Wowzer and other comments.

:D

Be Seeing You...

[P.S. Despite a valiant Bramble-defying effort, Mr Sprawk left empty-taloned. Poor thing.]
