OUT OF SEASON ?

These were the only things worth pointing the camera at on Friday's short walk .I checked in my "I SPY " book of British wildlife on the butterfly to find that it could be a PEACOCK.  The book said the adults fly in July, but this is still March....But then do butterflies read books ?

DOWN BY THE RIVER SEVERN

This a view looking up the river Severn towards Gatcombe. Its said that Sir Francis Drake stayed at Gatcombe (a small port ) while looking for Oak tree's for boat building

On my way back from the river i passed these two fine beasts, sorry about the bar in the picture,its funny how you don't notice things like this when you take the photo. Ah well !!

MALE AND FEMALE MALLARD

                                                    Both photos taken at Cannop Pond
                                                    I love the brown eye of the female

A MORNING WALK WITH NOT MUCH TO SHOW FOR IT

                         Not a lot about this morning ,i saw a lot of Greenfinch last night at the same spot as the above photo,but they were not about today. But after taking the above pic,a noise to my left turned out to be a boar (pic3) who shot off at high speed.  The middle pic is of Cannop Pond. I hope the next walk is more productive, but it was a nice walk all the same.

MALE PHEASANT IN THE FIELD AT THE TOP OF MY GARDEN

What a lovely bird , why do people breed them just to shoot them later in the year. I'm glad I'm a vegetarian.
