Paid a visit this afternoon to Helston sewage works, hoping for a Firecrest but settled for the Wren and a Speckled Wood Butterfly. Over on the boating lake was a lone Gadwall and a pair of Mute Swans with only one Cygnet.
Called into Stithians Reservoir on the way home and managed a distant shot through the branches, of the Great-crested Grebes with their chick.
Nice shots. My favorite is the picture of the fluffy grebe. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. You have a lovely birding blog. I checked out your India birds posts. You got a picture of the Paradise flycatcher! Isn't that a beautiful bird.
That Wren is lovely... and lovely to see the GC Grebe shots from Stiths.
ReplyDeletePowder puff cygnet on water - Great shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat effort, the weather has certainly dampened my photography.

Nice shots, I like the one of the cygnet as the Early Birder said just like a powder puff.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the others...I was wondering how many cygnets she started with.
ReplyDeleteGood depth of field on the Speckled Wood. Steve.
