Ingoe

 Went to see a cracking Turtle Dove at Ingoe at the beginning of the month. Many thanks to the villages for being so helpful with the location of the bird, it was a pleasure to be there.

 It’s great when you can sit and have a cup of coffee and scone and take pictures as well.

It looks like the Moorhen chick is saying “I wish I could do that”.

Clara Vale & Far Pastures

 A couple of weeks ago I paid a visit to the hides at Clara Vale and Far Pastures. I hadn’t been in the hide long at Clara when a Kingfisher arrived it stayed around for a while but it was mostly distant. There wasn’t much from the hide at Far Pastures however up the lane were Red Kite and Buzzard.

Wagtail & Dipper.

Still behind (I always am) these images are from the end of last month at the Causey Burn. 

Mayfly.

This is a cloud of Midges I had to shoot through to get the images of both the Wagtail & Dipper. The little yellow dot in the centre of the shot is a Wagtail.
