The "Eyes"

It looked a nice sunny day today,although there was a cold, crisp nip in the air. I did see quite a lot of birds, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Robins, Blackbirds and a pair of Bullfinches (who are regulars to my garden) unfortunately they were not very co-operative when I tried to get closer for an image. I took several scenic shots though, which I will put on later......I seem to have a problem with resizing at the moment....and I thought I had cracked it!

Happy New Year to you All

A very cold day today, but lots of pure virgin snow.....I took these images this morning near Woolston Eyes NR. It almost took my breath away, it looked so beautiful.There is yet more snow to come too! An exhilerating start to the day.

Nearly a white Christmas

Just the sort of day to blow the cobwebs away....these images were taken on the outskirts of Manchester, it was extremely cold (-5)but the breath-taking scenery was worth it. One of my dogs wanted to get in on the lime-light as well, he enjoyed himself catching snowballs! A good day was had by both the two legged and four legged variety.

When the mood takes

There is not a lot to see at the moment, bird-wise, due to the bad weather conditions, So I thought I would put some of my paintings and drawings on for now.....and await better days, here's hoping!

Nice weather for Ducks

After much debating as to whether we should chance the Wirral or not, we decided to throw caution to the wind. (it was windy too)I managed to get some wonderful images of the waves crashing over the sea wall at the life boat station at Wallasey....the tide was very high... needless to say I looked like a be-draggled rat after five minutes! We then headed for New Brighton and found some waders roosting on the Pontoon...there were Dunlin, Turnstone, Redshank and at the front some very sleepy Purple Sandpiper's all huddled together braving the very squally elements. New Brighton was almost deserted, not quite the weather to be out in, but I found it quite exhilerating.
