Burdon Moor

 A few images from Burdon Moor a couple of weeks ago.

Whinchat.





Mistle Thrush. They were feeding on berries when I first saw them but flew up onto the pole.



A dog walker had let his dog off the lead in one of the fields and it startled these deer which are still watching dog.

Barn Owl

 Barn Owl, Whinchat and Stonechat from the beginning of the month.

The Swallows did not like the Barn Owl being around.



However, the Swallows eventually left it alone so it could carry on hunting.

Work

 Once again, I’ve had my camera at work and I always say to myself, because there are so many of them, “don’t take pictures of Common Green Shieldbugs” however when I see them, I can’t help myself and take pictures anyway.  

Common Green Shieldbug.







Kidney-spot ladybird a first for me.

This Robin was quite happy to sit and pose for me while I took its photograph with a 90mm macro lens.
