Lat winter I saw a Fieldfare with the Duskys and this week I was hoping to find a few Waxwing perhaps but nothing doing there. Otherwise only common stuff in town........
This female Sparrowhawk flew over during a rare 10 minutes with blue sky..........
We went to Onuma yesterday, the usual suspects posed nicely for photos.
Just in case you stumbled across this blog and are impressed by the above photos I'll show you this one to shatter your illusions.
Most interesting photo of the day was this.
A White Tailed Eagle and lots of crows eating a dead frozen Red Fox at Onuma. I tried to get closer for a better shot but my foot went through the ice................I didn't want to end up like the fox.
So Christmas Eve. Here I am on my own drinking mulled wine and beer (the wife is out at some office party or other). I may switch on one of the christmas stations on itunes or listen to the BBC (Radio 2 I suppose these days?) to find some seasonal tunes. I can't get that s**t-awful Shakin' Stevens song out of my head ('Merry Christmas Everyone' I think it's called). I hope they don't play that particular one. Damn. Maybe they'll play Slade though. On that rather sad note.............
Happy Christmas to the regular readers of this blog. If you're lonely or down just think about what kind of christmas that fox's family is going to have.................
By the way I've had to enable comment moderation after getting spammed by folk suggesting I buy all kinds of products for sexual dysfunctions and the like.
Just think about the awful jokes to endure at Xmas if you happen to be called Slade. Great run of pictures there. Send us some Dusky Thrushes please. Phil (Slade)
