Add your "Odds & Sods" here thread ... 2020

Another miserable day of snow , wind and rain...birds were still hungry though...

Some of my usual daily visitors....always a pleasure to see

There's a queue for the feeders! Starlings with manors!

Redwings still here but numbers dwindling daily

With the persistent combination of strong winds and rain I've not been out with the camera much recently. There was a rare-ish visitor with a local sighting of a Smew (a red head) but it wouldn't come close when I saw it 

Then, while out checking the local frog activity (not much) in wet woodland yesterday, I found myself just a few yards away from a pair of Roe Deer.

They kept an eye on me but really weren't that concerned providing I remained the same distance as when we first met.

It's not often I get such clear views of deer in woodland. There's normally lots of undergrowth obscuring the scene.

In the next one, I can just imagine the deer saying "Can you stop stuffing your face for a moment, I think that man is staring at my bottom!"

Nice collection of photos Nige, and everyone else.

You're not alone there Nige.

I've not been able to get out since the beginning of the month, and this weekend isn't looking too clever either.

Mind you, Saturday I'm stuck with family.....

At Abberton Reservoir a few weeks ago

Put up my first ever nest boxes on the front of our log cabin and already had some little inspectors....

I usually just have some little hanging bird hotels in the trees but this year decided I would like a clear view ...

Fingers crossed 

That did not take them long Linda, looks like you may be having visitors this season!

They have been up a couple of days now. They seem to get a lot of inspections early in the mornings

Here's hoping !

Bang goes the housework Linda, you will be watching these all day once the action starts.

haha, very true, I have even stared doing the ironing whilst looking out the kitchen window, back of the house is spotless, if only the front was
