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 !

Unknown said:Apparently, at its worst, even wellies weren't enough, but levels were slowly dropping and many felt like kids splashing through puddles! I even found a small newt eft swimming about and trying to hide under my boot when I stopped to show someone else. Of course, if you forget your wellies the alternative would be to wade through in sandals and shorts!!
I'm seriously considering looking for a reliable ark builder!

Brilliant photos PB.
If you get the light and angle right, birds can (cue Alfred Hitchcock's "Birds" theme) evil creatures!

Growing webbed feet and flippers might be an alternative.

I'm told that occurs naturally if you're in water for a prolonged time, or is that wrinkles!
I can't quite remember.....
A few Ducks from The Loch of Strathbeg yesterday. :-)

I can still see blue sky!
We only have a small courtyard at our rental property but I decided to buy a new bird feeder and see if anything turned up ………….. so far we have had the usual Blue Tit, Great Tit, Robin increasing to include House Sparrow, Starling, Pied Wagtail, Wren and this morning we got a rather special visitor keeping company with the Sparrow family ….
A beautiful Tree Sparrow - so just shows you don't need a lot of space or even grass to have a nice group of bird visitors. (Taken through the double glass front doors)
now the next photo I don't know if it is in the company of a juvenile Tree Sparrow (hint of that dark smudge on cheek) or its a regular House Sparrow. Sounds strange but we didn't get house sparrows in our last garden so never saw them too often ! I know tree creepers a lot better than sparrows lol Assuming the 2nd is a regular House Sparrow.
