A young Reed Bunting...

A Tufted visitor...

and a Mallard hustling away her young...

A Small White Butterfly ... balancing on a buttercup in the sunshine...

a pair of greylag geese ... just visiting...

a male Reed Bunting... declaring his patch...

and a Greenfinch... well camouflaged ...

Happenings down on the meadows today...

A Reed Warbler playing peek-a-boo....

The meadow awash with yellow...

A growing Coot family...

and a slow worm crossing the path...

A Reed Warbler was spotted feeding in the reeds and collecting nesting material...

A Song Thrush in the grass...

A Bluetit in the blossom...

And many birds had lots to say.... the cuckoo...

the wren...

and the blackbird...

Close up....

Life on the back hedge...

A blackcap...

A Sedge Warbler...

And a Common Whitethroat...

being watched over by a Sparrowhawk...
