A Redwing

I was taking pictures of Goldfinches when suddenly this lovely Redwing came swooping down for a bath and scared the other birds away.  I was really please with this picture. It was taken at Marton Mere.

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

This is why my blog is called "Rocking"OnTheWildeSide. A bit of guitar for you:

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.
