Well,
while taking the last shot that I asked about - this fellow appeared
from behind the tree. The actual bird I had attempted to grab a photo
of was a kingfisher that had dived into the water then returned to
the bushy tree from behind which the heron appeared.
I
took a few shots - hoping the kingfisher would appear in one, whilst
the heron made it worthwhile to take them anyway - alas, no sign of
the red-blue splash of kingfisher. I wandered on a bit further, and came upon a
baby moorhen - too cute not to take a picture!
Here
we have a blue tit and either a great tit or coal tit sharing the
feeder. I then came across a strange bird. It was sitting on the
ground behind the wire fence. It looked a bit like a thrush. It may
have been a young thrush, or something else.
Finally
for today, HERE is some information on the goldfinch.
Looks like I was actually right about a quiz for a change. :D
