Howard kindly sent me the collage he created of the Knot roosting over various March/ February tides at Heysham Heliport, when he achieved not just excellent photographs, but also reading an amazing 28 ringed birds.
As can be seen in the images, the birds have the flag of the country where they were ringed, together with the location and date, including one bird ringed at De Richel, Netherlands, 21 August 2012.....All round impressive stuff Howard.
Garden Birds.
The Goldfinch is the most common bird in our garden, seen daily on and off in ones and twos, but a count of 18 Goldfinch together one day, they spill as much if not more than they eat....View Full Screen.
The Blue Tit makes heavy work trying to collect string on the feeder for nesting material which ended in failure....View Full Screen.
Garden Butterflies.
Small White and Peacock.
I get a good deal of pleasure and uplifting from this kind of high end quality music, I hope you can too. We're all in this war together....TAKE CARE STAY SAFE.
Impressive collage of the Knot, Pete (and Howard!). Have never understood why birds are said to be 'rung' (like a bell), rather than 'ringed' (like a finger).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to that music. I was not aware of it - it's truly wonderful!
Take good care, Pete and KT and stay safe - - - Richard
