I'm not doing a post-mortem of the LG 2019 season.

Here's to a colourful, action-packed off-season - but the cam needs repositioning and cleaning.  MIKE ??? !!! ;-D

03 September!

As KORKY may have retired in despair (I nearly did myself!), here is An Animal's Guide to Britain.

    That's our silly expression Bottom Of Page Syndrome ;)

    Hurry back!  I shan't have anything new, I shouldn't think - the birds are a delight to watch but a bit repetitive to post snaps of :)

    Last tonight was this Coat Tit:

    I couldn't do the 6-hour morning session because there was a corruption in it that sent the editor into "not responding" mode, no matter how many times I started afresh.

    A Great and 2 Blues:

    Just 2 Blues:

    Uh-oh!  Now the drag 'n drop has stopped working - I'll post this and come back and edit...

    3 Coals (are you swooning over my expertise yet?):

    A pastel Chaffie (nobody's told me any different yet... and the frame/background colour is an experiment, can't tell what it will look like on the page until it's on the page):

    An "ordinary" Chaffie:

    An elegant Chaffie:

    Great:

    Can't do any more tonight.  The birds have been much more fabulous than my snaps portray, I can't do them justice.

    I am delighted with you expertise Scylla. Lovely snaps and coloured frames to match.
    Your pastel chaffie is a female and the elegant and ordinary is the male.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Can't imagine those birdies could be any nicer than your snaps plus special treatment, scylla!

    A Crestie was last at the feeder last evening, it paid about 3 visits at that time.  It took some pieces of peanuts to the perch and tussled with them, one it flew away with.

    Went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday and saw my first ever jackdaw looking very smart

    Hi PATILY - very please for you that you got a first :)  I don't think I've ever seen a jackdaw.

    This morning a squirrel kept everyone else at bay for at least half an hour:

    It looked rather wet:

    Then this unprepossessing chap arrived:

    But he was actually a very fine looking fellow:

    The light changed:

    I must remember not to do these "deep" ones cos they don't display big enough Disappointed

    Don't know why, but the squirrel took a break and then went back to business:

    Crestie dropped a peanut and darted down after it - we'll never know if it caught it:

    .

    That's only up to lunchtime.  Once they got going there were a lot of munchers all morning.
