Wildlife Snapshots: March 2014
http://wildsnaps.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
From the South Wales borders and beyond. Thursday, March 27, 2014. Another go at the raised puddle brought 2 new species for the 'drinking' albums. Any guesses for this one? The collared dove was one of the new species, and the infinity branch is a definite improvement,. So did you guess the first bird? Drinking species 26 - treecreeper. It was a bit nervous at first, but eventually settled for long enough . and again I hadn't got things quite right, with a piece of branch obscuring the reflection. As th...

Alcester Nature Photography: Backlit Teasels
http://alcesternaturephotography.blogspot.com/2013/10/backlit-teasels.html
Saturday, 26 October 2013. Quick picture of some backlit Teasels, I quite liked the lens flare it added some interest to the picture (IMHO). A Goldfinch feeding on them would have been the icing on the cake. Labels: Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). Please leave your comment. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed reading my postings.

Wildlife Snapshots: January 2015
http://wildsnaps.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
From the South Wales borders and beyond. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Hanging out the bunting(s). Links to this post. Thursday, January 08, 2015. I've written before about our local seasonal wetland - the Nedern. In winter the fields flood and we get an influx of wildfowl - wigeon, tufted duck, shoveller, pintail, teal, shelduck - and waders, especially redshank. I haven't ever given them the time they deserve but the angles and light can be troublesome and it's hard to find a good viewpoint. I did 'visua...

Wildlife Snapshots: May 2014
http://wildsnaps.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
From the South Wales borders and beyond. Wednesday, May 07, 2014. A successful unsuccessful weekend. All in all it was a good bank holiday weekend. We finally got the temporary stock fencing up in the 'meadow' (or rank pasture as it is more actually described at present). Something satisfying about aching muscles, blisters, nettle stings and bramble scratches for those of us chained to a desk all week. So was it a disappointment? Wouldn't mind a few more unsuccessful days like those! Links to this post.

Wildlife Snapshots: August 2014
http://wildsnaps.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
From the South Wales borders and beyond. Monday, August 04, 2014. Looking cute as always I was kicking myself later for blowing this shot - not too bad at this resolution ,but not sharp if you go in. I doubt I'll ever see a red squirrel atop a mushroom again! Birds -wise I was surprised to see plenty of bullfinches although the siskins were more expected. Not a tit, and not a bird I expected to see either. The male appeared shortly afterwards and confirmed the identification. Sadly though I'm not sure th...
