For some reason I've been rather lazy and lethargic for the start of the new year, especially in
getting around to doing some new posts, I guess if I was a famous author I
could say I'm suffering from 'writers block'!
However, I have managed to get out and visit a few local
parks and lakes including...Tring Reservoirs where I was fortunate enough to
see a couple of Common Snipe and a Jack Snipe (alas, too distant for photo's)
and where the long staying Snow Bunting is still showing well...Stockgrove
Country Park where a host of, well fed!, small birds can be seen at close
quarters (photo's below) and I also saw, not one, but two Goldcrest bathing in
a small puddle (sorry, NO photo's below, once they saw me they were gone!!)...Caldecotte
Lake, on a pleasantly sunny day, where the highlight from amongst the forty
different species noted was seeing three, well showing, Goosanders (a female
with two males) I also had a pleasant chat, via mobile 'phone across the length of the lake,
with Keith from Caldecottelake
A few images and a short video ( I'm still getting to grips
with the editing!!) from my visit to Stockgrove Country Park.
