Bounce

There're several reports of our hibernating species enjoying an early spring. Unfortunately I'm still unable to take advantage and look for myself until the healing is complete. Better to be fixed fully than waste another week through foolish endeavors. If I want to have that spring in my step I'm going to have to be able to bounce!

An incredible mosaic of colours, as though someone had just carved a duck and painted it purely for decoration. This handsome fellow lives with the Mandarins at Eyeworth Pond - both welcome splashes of colour among the usual mallards.

Blue Expectations...

Blue Expectations...

I finally managed to drag myself out on Saturday, despite a broken toe, and spent an hour with the birds before the strain on my foot became too uncomfortable. More healing time needed I guess...

Last year someone asked me why I had to photograph dragonflies when there were so many photos available online and in print? Obviously not a photographer! I do get the same way with Blue Tits, and no matter how hard I resist I can't help it if it results in a satisfying image.

I tried something different this time and concentrated on the trees rather than the feeding posts, becasue the last thing I wanted was another Blue Tit feeding on a post! Much better to get them jusat before they descend from the nearest tree....

Another held back from last year, this individual was found several 100 metres away from the usual site and - along with several others - was welcome proof that the species had successfully dispersed throughtout the wood.
