keep the wildlife away

there is a rule that you stay 5 metres away from the wildlife - shame no-one told them!!

the frozen south...

thought I had better post a few pictures just to prove I had been away - more to follow and check out the additional page look to the top right "Penguins and furry things..."!!

A New Years Day

and a very wet one it is!!  So had to content myself with taking photos of the geese resident on the temporary lake in the field and a Sparrowhawk doing its usual trick of pretending not to get caught in the bush....

Christmas @ 28

A jolly good Christmas all round....  the snow lay, the squirrels performed, and a fieldfare ate the apples - fighting any blackbird that came within sniffing distance....

and a walk along the riverside produced a Heron and some snowy landscapes

got distracted on the way to work....

Thanks (you know who you are) for the call to say the road was open and to remember my camera!!    Taken on the B1229.

the snow is back....

and boy, is it back...............

 

the sun shone, the snow is going...

finally managed a walk around the Head today - after a week traversing the length and breadth of North Yorkshire, seeing the different amounts of snow around the county....

distirbed some snipe too quickly to get the camera pointed but these little fellas, reed bunting, yellowhammer and wren, obligingly posed...
