Starting from number one there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.
Only five photographs left to put on to the Photo Page.
Swans on the river in Peterborough. Merrilyn.
Horse Guard in London. The horse doesn’t look best pleased. The horse in the next one wasn’t best pleased because the poor guard sat on top of it had a tickly cough. Merrilyn.
We were lucky enough to see Tower Bridge go up to let a boat through. Merrilyn.
This is the same sunrise that Jill sent in, I live about 20 or so miles north of her. I took this on the Sunday morning then later read on the forum Jill had also taken a photo that morning of the beautiful sunrise. Jan (herts).
Fungus on a chestnut tree, can anyone tell me what type it is? Jan (Herts)
When I went to feed the Horses this morning a flock of Canada Geese flew over the Farm. The pair that visited the Lake a few days ago must have been on the Lake at the time and they called to the flock as they flew over. The flock of over twenty Geese flew back to the call and circled the Lake a couple of times and attempted to land. I could hear that some had landed on their first attempt. The others must have misjudged and made an other attempt. Again a few landed. Those that did not gave up and flew north down the Valley.
I don’t know why the first pair on the Lake had bothered calling out for as soon as the flock of about ten Geese had settled the first pair started to harass those in the flock. Within half an hour the flock flew off in the same direction of those that could not land on the Lake.
The first pair stayed longer and seemed to be inspecting the Island. I still think that this pair are the last of the two that had nested on the Lake last year and that they had flown off when their Goslings had been attacked.
The Ducks that someone asked about are Little Grebe. They are diving for small Fish. They swim under the water looking for the Fish. Swimming for quite a long time and travelling many metres in search of the Fish.
There were also a number of Mallards on the Lake this morning. One Female was being mated by a number of the Drakes so I should think that she will be nesting. It seems a little early.
