A quiet week just went by, for various reasons I couldn't get out much...........
The 3 species of Heron (including the above Great Egret) were on the local river and a couple of days ago I relocated the Red Breasted Flycatcher. Not great shots (the camera settings were intended for large airborne Herons against bright skies not little skulkers in the bushes) but here we are.......
We'd heard reports of a Great Grey Shrike nearby and we went to look for it this afternoon. Nothing doing (and no Rooks or Daurian Jackdaws either) but we did see this male Merlin. This was the only shot I could fire off before it disappeared...........
There were loads of Salmon in the river in Ono. And hundreds of dead ones in the fields next to the river too, presumably a result of last week's heavy rains. Sadly no eagles feeding on them though........
A dull old week not helped by Liverpool plunging out of the Champions League.
Nothing interesting to say, I'll sign off for now.........
Lovely look Taiga Flycatcher :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
