Friday June 14th
Awful start to the day again, brightened up a bit after lunch so I ventured out, big mistake as I got soaked, got couple of shots of hoverflies, but not the day I was hoping for.
Must have been about 20 Canadian Geese on Captain's when I got there, also a couple of Jays were having a sortie with a crow.

Bit of a washout again!
Wednesday June 12th
Dull and damp start, rain stopped enough to get out for a walkabout, but not a lot about.
Female GC Grebe still sitting on the nest, otherwise very very quiet on Captain's Pool.
Some insect shots but light just awful, it's the main fault with a bridge camera, it does not do very well in bad light.
Swallows were skimming over the corn field

Total washout, rained solid all day so sadly I never ventured out.
Monday June 10th
Reasonable start to the day, pretty quiet around and about, a few insects started to appear as it warmed up a little, photos below.
Captain's very quiet as were the three pools, red-eyed damselfly was the highlight of my walkabout today.
The female GC Grebe has started sitting on the nest again so fingers crossed.
