    24 February

    An all-too-familiar sight:

    No boundaries, totally undisciplined:

    We've seen it worse:

    Our Mute Swan couple:

    It was too distant to hear its shout, the next second it flew:

    And this Thrush (Mistle? Song?) was also too distant, such a shame because it was singing on our screen for nearly 15 minutes Musical note  Hugging 

    At this point the cam went down:

    EDIT!  Oops! No it wasn't, I've got another 2+ hours to go.

    This was the cut-off point:

    Amplified sounds from the pitch black morning - I can't reduce background noise:

    Listening (or trying to listen) to that reminded me of LOTL...

    MC. You are right in that it was a Mistle Thrush. Heather spoke about it on Chat and says she thinks there are as many as four about. She has seen them whilst working at the VC and protection site.

    Thanks, everyone, for pics and posts, particularly to Scylla (as usual!) and to TJ for the lovely photo of the BH Gulls celebrating the spring!

    Kind regards, Ann

    Lovely ethereal photos - send (nice) shivers down the back. Nice capture of the mistle thrush Scylla.
    I was out walking on Tuesday (lane walking since the fields were just too muddy) and for all of 10 minutes I stopped to watch and listen to a song thrush loudly and boldly announcing its presence to any thrush that would dare to intrude into his territory. It was so loud!! not even the pesky traffic could drown it out.
    Thanks for all you posts Scylla

    I hope I haven't missed black-headed gulls, CLARE would love to see some

    Well if Clare doesn't come up trumps I can offer you the look of love from an amorous pair of BH Gulls. Well, it is nearly spring.

    You got BOPS'd, TeeJay, and I missed this lovely shot (as well as any gulls that did turn up at Glaslyn, if they did).  Thank you!

    (I did reply to a PM of yours months ago, I was very late - ditto with TRYING.)

    MC. Swan flock take off at 0710 ish this morning from the distant field BUT they swing round and suddenly pass close by the camera from left to right! The closeness wakes you up!

    I have done videos of them swinging around like that, they often do, in small groups - but I've never captured them as close & dramatic as your shot, Mike.  I'll be having a look later, there's no obvious reason why I won't have it.
