LET THE TRAIN TAKE THE STRAIN

LANNER FALCON

Another dull drab grey wet day !!!!!!

FROST

It,s been a bad day,wet cold and dark. No good for photos.

NOT SO RED ROBIN

Converted to black and white and layers used in Photoshop to bring out the red.

THAT BRIDGE AGAIN

This end of the bridge is in Wales,the far end is in England but the bridge is managed by a French company......Why !!!

UNDER THE SEVERN BRIDGE

Today has been a nice sunny winters day,i just wish my eye was working as well as my new solar panels i've had fitted.

PHOTOSHOP MESS AROUND

As im off work for a few days with a eye problem, i cant get out to take any photos so i have been trying out things in photoshop.

Thanks to Bob Bushall, who gave me the location of these lovely birds, without it i would never have seen them or been able to take this photo.

LANNER FALCON

WHO AM I ?

http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.co.uk/

Some time this year i won a free pass to The International Centre For Birds  Of Prey. This is one of the few birds that were on display,but i cant recall the name, but what a joy to see these great birds flying and so close too.I must go back when the weather gets warmer.

CHAFFINCH with some sort of growth on its feet.

VANES

There was no need of these with yesterdays wind. A shocking day.Today, much better.Two more vanes that show are local eccentricity.

CANNOP POND CORMERRANT

This bird would not be able to dry it's feathers today,it's been pouring down again. This photo was taken a few weeks ago on a far better day. http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.co.uk/

MOORHEN

 

 

 

Too foggy to play golf or take any photos today,this one i took a few weeks back. I hope the weather is better where you are .

STOCK DOVE ?

I think this is a Stock Dove, a fairly common bird with a lovely dark eye. http://paying-ready-attention-gallery.blogspot.com.au/

WREN

I don't seem to be able to get close enough to a wren to get a good photo, they don't stay still very long.

CLEEVE CLOUD GOLF CLUB

While my wife was looking after our gandson yesterday in Cheltenham,i took the chance to walk up to Cleeve Hill. The highest point on the Cotswolds overlooking Cheltenham racecourse. It was windy and very cold,a good day for a walk.This is a view towards the golf club.

You just see the racecourse in the middle of this photo.

HERRING GULL

I have not had time today to take any new photos due to playing golf again. The golfing gods smiled down on me today and let me play to my normal standard,so this Gull was taken in some Cornish fishing village i passed through on my last SWCP walk

GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER
