Just a short roundup of the weekends activity, On Saturday morning I went to Marazion,and finally nailed the Marsh Harrier for a few brief moments when it was flushed by Corvids so I did not get any images.
There were still plenty of Sedge and Reed Warblers with the odd Cetti's lurking under cover. Next I drove to Holman Moor and took a walk, just the commoner stuff around with a couple of Buzzards soaring high overhead.
Back home I had a wander around the Garden with the Macro setup and managed a couple of pics.
All in all not a very exciting weekend,as Sunday I stayed at home as our two eldest Grandchildren came over with their parents and spent a pleasant few hours with them.
BLUEBOTTLE.
The flying season is getting underway this Bluebottle was sunning itself on a Planter.
JUVENILE STONECHAT.
STONECHAT.
A small family of this years Stonechats were enjoying the sunshine at Marazion.
DOR BEETLE
This Dor Beetle was taking a stroll through the grass.
DANDELION CLOCK.
This is the seed head of the Dandelion and we call it a clock, as when we were children we used to blow the seeds off and recite a rhyme about time, and for the life of me I cannot remember it. So come on all you intelligent people who can remember it for me?
Monts, try this -
ReplyDeleteThe dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time
The Stonechats are my kind of shot. Great pictures Monts. Well done also with the High Key image and the B&W shots.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful assortment of nature pictures. Great macro shots.

Lovely shots spent the weekend at Marazion mostly an hour or two in the morning and I expect I photographed the same Stonechat.
ReplyDeleteSuper shots of the Stonechats Monty and nice macro work. I'm glad someone (well done Simon) could remember the song. Cheers FAB.
