A nice sunday

Had a cold walkabout this morning, had a walk in a field this morning where I hadn't been before, I saw quite a few birds flying around and went to investigate, lots of chaffinches but also at least 6 bramblings.

Stonechats were still pottering around in the dead man's allotment along with several goldfinches, actually wherever I walked this morning the goldfinches were around and quite a lot of them.

Fieldfares and redwings were around in numbers as usual.

As it was colder than usual I took my flask and while having a cuppa this little lady appeared.

And the robin of course.

Downside is that the sun is very harsh for photography before lunch.

I set up a little twig and this little blue tit kindly obliged.

Just before I went off for lunch the green woodpeckers were active, but too far out for photos.

After lunch I decided to try a few flight shots while the light was good, but it was very hit and miss, bright sunshine to very dull in seconds, even had snow, good job I have waterproof cover for the camera.

 The dunnock showed several times while I was there but no decent in flight shots of him.

To summarise it was a hit and miss day, saw kestrel a couple of times and also buzzards.

Skylarks hovering freely when the sun was out.

I decided late on to go and try for a couple of sunsets, this one is along Wilden Lane.

These two are from Hartlebury Common.

I have been concentrating a lot lately on wildlife, think I need to get out and try a few more landscapes as well, hopefully some different images will appear here very soon.
