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.

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

Burdon Moor

 At the end of last month my wife and I had a walk around Burdon Moor as Whinchats had been seen. There was a family group of Stonechats flying around and as one bird was silhouetted against the sky it wasn’t until I got the images on the computer that I realised I had photographed a Whinchat.
