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

What a beauty to see in your local park Nige, wondering our local Tatton park will reopen at some stage as it was closed about a month ago when people were congregating on the entrance drive and within the park itself.

Lovely shots Nige, and even lovelier to hear from you again, I was beginning to worry!!

Great shots Nigel, good to see more of your fab pics. As with everyone here stay safe and well.

A few from the garden this morning. :-)

The joys of youth......

......versus the benefits of knowledge and experience.!!

Two different Pud's, in case you weren't sure.!! :-)

Very nice Paul....even the cats!

lovely set of photos Paul, that starlings plumage is stunning and the pretty collared dove; acrobatic blue tit turning its head 180 degrees ! great to see the young playful puddy tat and the wise one looking on !

A few from today and the first time I've picked the camera up for ages;        starting with the lovely yellow colour of rapeseed oil crop

skylarks were singing and sky-dancing but too difficult for me to get a photo of,  no bins and bad eyes   !  

very distant but did manage to see one of the Lapwings that frequent this area

I saw at least six common buzzards today;   two pairs for sure 

a little too distant to get clear shots so had to hard crop these pics ….

Carrion crow looking for tasty morsels in the pony paddock

Blue Tit surprised to see a human being outside    !! 

a rather tatty looking Robin 

I put butterflies on the dedicated thread but forgot to add this Speckled Wood 

and there was a little Polo practice going on ….       I had the wrong lens on so record shot only.

Very nice Hazel, I think buzzards were out in force today enjoying the sunshine like us! A speckled wood....very nice indeed. That bluetit does look a bit shocked...but great pic. Even a bit of polo practise...oh how the other half live! lol
Thanks for picking up the camera again and sharing...always good to see something different.

Lovely to see the field full of the rape seed Hazy, it certainly catches the eye. I saw similar birds to you today but my buzzard was singular and sat on the telegraph pole, and the crow not half as nice as yours though I did try to catch the sunshine on it's back!! We are lucky to still be getting the sun for these photos, even though the wind is chilly just now. A hard working Robin and lovely Speckled Wood made it well worth getting out.

Evening all - thought I'd add some of my photos from today's walk... Haven't got out much recently but sun was out again today so off I wandered!

And a record shot of a Grey Wagtail - always nice to see something a bit out of the ordinary!
