"Odds & Sods" (old version) - please add to the new thread 2020 instead !

THIS THREAD IS NOW DISCONTINUED,   please add to the new 2020 thread HERE

Often we don't have enough photos to create a full thread so thought I'd start an Odds & Sods thread where you may want to add a pic or two when you don't have enough for their own thread .    Feel free to add your rogues gallery here ! 

I only had a couple of pics today, one a Treecreeper and the other a very hacked off looking Great Egret huddled against the reeds trying to keep warm !

    A couple from Arne today

    The web itself was about 9 inches across, and the trees the support strands were attached to were about 6 feet apart!

    Distant and cropped Curlew

    And even more distant and cropped.... oystercatcher?

    Looks like he wasn't too happy about the weather either. Funny how they invariably call when flying as if to say "make way I'm coming".

    Thanks folks. A week off coming up soon so perhaps I may get a day when it isn't raining, (although I do enjoy being tucked up snug in a hide all by myself when the weather is howling round about me).!! Mmmmmm.... :-)

    To illustrate my point, a short sound clip recorded on my phone not long after the photo of the Heron was taken.

    When I let Mrs A hear it and she merely looked at me with a look of bewilderment mingled with a feeling of sorrow. She then showed the slightest raising of an eyebrow, but said nothing.!!

    I don't care, I like this sort of thing.!! :-)

    LOL Paul,    I'm with Mrs A on this one  -   thought it was a goods train passing by at first  !     I feel we are having it not too bad down here in Cheshire compared to that weather.      Btw, you could have at least done a Gene Kelly impression and sang to accompany the sound of the rain !

    If that is what you like Paul, then you go for it!! Although I would have loved a few lines of "I'm singing in the rain" or "Blowing in the Wind" !

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
