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.

St Aidan’s

 Just back from holiday so trying to catch up. If I can I will try to do a relatively local Blog in-dispersed with a holiday Blog. Anyway, at the end of last month my wife and I had a trip down to St Aidan’s just outside of Leeds. The birds were great and so was the weather although this time we unfortunately didn’t see Bittern (we did however hear a few) or Black-necked Grebe it was still a great day out though.

Loads of Sedge Warblers were singing in the reeds.

We stopped off at a pub on the way back home and this female Grey Wagtail was taking insects back to its young.

A walk around…

 …Causey Woods looking for Dipper unfortunately I didn’t find any however I did find a couple of Grey Wagtail. It was then off to see if I could get onto some Barn Owl which I did.
