Time to start this year's thread of odds and sods (Last year's Odds & Sods HERE)
Today a large flock of 40 or so Redwings descended on the fields around our local parkland and although they were pretty skittish and distant I hard cropped a few pics for you ....
and a blue tit landed nearby !

@ Mike, that certainly was a cold day back in 2013 and we know the area around Cat & Fiddle as we always pass it to get to Hartington and River Dove walk.
Nice photos of the BHG,s and loving the red squiggle photos.
Hazel, that photo was around the Wildboarclough area, close to Danebower Hollow!
I had a look back through my photos and 22 June 2012, out on Derwent Edge, that was a similar temp!

:@ Ann .................At least after that long journey you are now rewarded with the Osprey sightings and meeting visitors as you volunteer; how lovely to see the new "dad" feed his first chick. Also good to hear the injured Glaslyn male is recovering well and is eventually able to catch not just fish for himself but also for the female. It's a lovely part of the country and hope you get to relax and go sight-seeing in-between the valuable volunteering. Enjoy :)

Good news on the osprey.
Sometimes you just can't be bothered.!!
My bird photos HERE
Not an unusual visitor to our garden, but it did give to some photographic opportunities, even though through the kitchen window, which needs a clean....
Time for a good scratch before I move on.....
One that had slipped through the net, a greenfinch, a first for the garden, but not a first for me.
Lot to learn
