BIRD NEWS:604

 


One is allowed to 'exercise outdoors with one other person', so Liz and I have been taking some local rambles recently, so we can catch up without breaking the Covid lockdown laws. On one trip, we trotted off to Poling, past a couple of frozen ponds, past the house where Winnie The Pooh was written, and across the A27 into Angmering Park Estate where we looped around and came out on Swillage Lane, passing Goggles.



The two photographs above, both depicting Goggles, were taken on the next trip. On this occasion, we went along Swillage - passing Goggles en route - and did a loop around Angmering Park Estate.


HERE is a link to article about local garden birds.




When I next passed Goggles' pond with Liz, Goggles was hiding. We proceeded to take our ramble, but there was no chance of a good shot for the blog this time...



...just a peek-a-boo head-up...



Liz and I did hear and spot a skylark on our next hike though. However it was too far for my new camera to get a picture.


HERE is a link to an article about owls.




February's second week arrived and my first hike was solo. I did the 2hr Swillage-Patching loop, passing Goggles on the first half of my walk. There was a little snow lain about, but not as much as I had hoped when I heard it was forecast.
