IT'S THE WOODY N TURTLE SHOW?

Woody made an appearance, all be it a brief one yesterday. I heard him drumming while I was watching a pair of coot's nesting, so off I went in totally the wrong direction - funny how sound travels around a hollow, after my brief excursion I finally met up with a couple of other watchers who kindly pointed me in the right direction, 2 shots and off he went ( camera shy ! ) well at least I know what to look for now.

The coot's are nesting well, I have enjoyed watching them over the last few days one fetching n carrying while the other sits & tidy's up the nest - constantly rearranging twigs & bit's of reed it really is nice to watch. 

I had been told that there where terrapins in the lake but I didn't think they where this big, it must be the size of a dinner plate!

some of my best shots of the squiggles.  

I hope you enjoyed your visit, by for now :)

A few shots from the archive

Today didn't pan out as I had hoped, yesterday I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist, who increased my SSRI's  by 50%, which has left me felling drained & listless, still there is always next week.

As the title say's, these are from earlier this year and I don't know why I haven't posted them before, it's funny   how the robin's always look so good, but my favourite is the gull tap dancing on the water I hope you enjoy them      

ACTON PARK

A short visit to Acton park on the 13/03/2012, a dull cold day which managed to produce some reasonable shots, I still haven't seen the woodpecker, gold-crest  or nuthatch which I am told by the local fishermen are common sights within the park during the spring but they sit still & I tend to move around "to many years walking the hills of Wales & little patience" a friend told me that when birding, it is better to sit still & wait for them to come to you, I had a strange vision of me sitting holding my camera with a bird sat on my head!!.

If the weather is fine tomorrow a trip up to RSPB Burton Mere is planed, fingers crossed.
