Nature Diary

Cygnet watch

Not the best night for wandering out to take photographs but after being stuck in hotel rooms for the last couple of nights I needed the walk.

The swans tonight had brought the cygnets over onto a field to the one side of Stowe Pool and they were all sat down in the middle of the field eating grass and seemingly quite happy to have people linger for a while to look at them.

Cygnet3 Yours truly seems to be getting as much attention from people when taking photographs as when sketching out doors. I don't know if it is the combats and Karky (sp?) shirts making people think maybe I am a professional photographer or wild life expert or something but one chap came over tonight presuming I was a photographer - possibly from the local paper. Another chap a couple of nights ago launched into a massive list of questions about the local wild life. Of course they go away disappointed to find out that I am a nobody.

Just to prove Coots aren't pretty..

First time today in an RSPB reserve at Sandwell Valley and the only photo I get is back later on in the day after returning home at Stowe Pool!

I'm, personally blaming Bill Oddie.... not for my lack of photographs but for the fact that I found myself there at all. I think there must be subliminal messages in the Spring Watch program, it starts with a visit to an RSPB reserve and then before long it's jackets with far too many pockets and the highlight of the day being seeing a lesser spotted willow wibbly warbler!
