A Murmurarion at Marton Mere

The Murmuration at Marton Mere took us all by surprise. It started off as a "m" with just a few starlings flying about as the sun went down.

Then it got to a "murm" and we started to get a bit excited about what was happening.

Then a full, gargantuan murmuration was happening right over our heads. 

They made some amazing shapes and you could hear the sound of their wings beating.

I never will forget it.

Back to Some Guitar

I hope you enjoy it.

Common Lizards at RSPB Burton Mere

 On Sunday I went to RSPB Burton Mere on the Wirral. It was a really warm day, which was really good for spotting these Common Lizards.

We saw four of the sitting on the bottom rail of the fence sunbathing.

I really wanted a picture of one of the Lizards underneath the Lizard sign, but they didn't scrabble across the fence as far as the sign.

I really like the last picture because the head is in focus and the rest of the body sort of fades away. I hope you enjoy the pictures and would like to know what you think of them.

Ploughing

I really like the bright green and blue against the earthy brown soil in this picture.

A Grumpy Chicken

This is one of the grumpiest chickens at Grandma's

I hope you are feeling better soon Grandma.

My First go at a Lego Video

I took lots of pictures and then put them into movie make to make my first Lego video. I hope you enjoy it.

A Trip To Burton Mere

 When I arrived at RSPB Burton Mere I spotted lots of cows in a field, and they seemed quite happy to have their photo taken. I'm not sure if this cow knows it has grass hanging down from it's mouth. All of these photos are taken from this walk, I hope you enjoy them.
