The humble fence post. They're all over the place, and in my opinion, they do a good job. They keep things in and they keep things out. I like them.!!
Please feel free to post any fence post shots that you may have.
This is an example of a fence post but they do come in different shapes and sizes.
They're well worth keeping an eye on because just like me, various other things also like fence posts.!!
Arctic Terns for example.
And Skylarks.
Meadow Pipits like them a lot.!!
So do Wheatears.
Even though this Linnet isn't actually on a fence post, he probably really likes them as well.
Snipe really like being on the ground but they're not totally against having a go on a fence post now and again.!!
Redshanks are of a similar opinion to Snipes.
This is fun.!! Really small birds also like fence posts, like this Stonechat.
Great big birds like Curlews also stand on top of fence posts sometimes.
As do colourful birds like Oystercatchers.!!
Hooded Crows take it in turns to stand on fence posts.
But Short-eared Owls like them all to themselves.
Fence posts are just great.!! You may even have one in your garden somewhere, they're well worth keeping an eye on. I might even start a fence post appreciation society.!! :-)

Still trying to sort out and process my Scotland boat trip in the rain.... It was a big fence post!
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
A most exotic species spotted on fence post as I walked from Moor Green Lakes car park to Blackwater river. It was most obliging, staying quite still and not zooming off as I photographed it.
90% luck, 5% field craft, 5% camera skills.
A Jackdaw waiting for the bus outside my house. It's a kind of a post innit ...
Looking a bit fed up ...
Gull thingys, enjoying posts in East fen (aka East Reed Bed) long restored part of nascent Longwater road nature reserve.
The Grey Wagtail is sat on a structure we call the Yellow bridge, even if only the handrail is yellow, while the bridge structure is green. The bridge was used to cross a conveyor belt, which in turn was used to transport gravel from Fleet Hill and Manor farm extraction sites of the Eversley quarry up to 2 miles (under a busy road, across the Blackwater river and county boundary) to a processing plant on Chandlers farm part of the quarry.
The bridge was retained and repurposed as a stream crossing. It's a landmark now.
Another fatty. I think this one has been on the McDonalds ...
