So we decided to enjoy the very last of the sun yesterday before the storm was due and visited 2 parks and a river...lots of walking...that's all my exercise done for the summer now....well you wouldn't want me out walking in the floods now would you? lol
Was rather quiet in all areas but here is what I saw by the river....
In a pond next to the river
Yep that was it...well a few of them fast flying swift things aswell heehaw chance of a pic of them!
Park no1 was a new one for us ....seems like it's home to all the SWANS and Coots!!
And a lovely wee starling
Then onto park No2 which had a little more activity with 2 Herons
Doesn't quite look right straight on lol
And them my favourite... Little Grebe to finish
Happy to say we made it home just before the 1st massive droplet of rain fell....its never stopped since..yeah yeah stop complaining Linda..I ain't actually because the rain has brought back....song thrush to the garden ;-)
Hope you enjoyed our walks and get your share of the rain very soon
Thanks for looking ;-)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Love the smart 'tie' the heron is wearing! Lightning and thunder here most of the night - along with much needed rain.
Lovely selection and photos Linda, always amazes me how patient and stock still Herons are when they are looking for fish. Nice little grebe to finish too, thanks.
