It's probably an ideal time to start the 2022 Odds & Sods thread off, with some squabbling starlings....

This pair of starlings were having a right old go at each other, whilst another nipped in to the coconut shell for a food

Great shots. They're pretty scary things when you zoom in. I would not like to be fly sized and see one of those coming at me. It would be like something out of a sci-fi film ...
First winter thrush pic for me this winter... obviously obscured, distant, and with the wrong lens on the camera...but Hey! it's the first of the season lol
Thanks. It is a wonderful area and not far from Buxton. I think most deer watchers would recommend Big Moor and White Edge although they do travel and reside on adjacent moors and in the woodlands. You can walk around or cross Big moor in 2 or 3 hours and also take in the granite edges which hold their own lovely wildlife. (White Edge, Baslow Edge, Curbar Edge and Froggatt Edge). I would recommend the highlands on Baslow Edge if you get a chance, when they are right on the edge overlooking the view all the way over to Chatsworth or over to Eyam it is quite something.

That's my usual trick. Put the macro on and see something at a distance, put the zoom on and want macro. Carry both and see nothing .... aaargh!
Thanks Bob. Definitely on my to see list ...
During a recent visit to Church Stretton, I came across the most adorable looking sheep. I think I was in its way, but luckily, the sheep was extremely pleasant and even let me take its photo
