Another summer gone............

A very quiet week.............

A Black-crowned Night Heron hiding in the thinning vegetation near my flat this afternoon..............

Autumn will begin soon: a few birds passing through included Asian Brown Flycatcher and a flock of Grey Starling.

A pretty dull few days though. The above image was processed in ACDsee, Not a very good image to start with but I'm giving the software a try as I'm thinking about Lightroom alternatives. That is sadly the most interesting news I have...............

Still gorging on the sakura

I took a walk this afternoon and the Bullfinches had relocated a little downstream.............

A few small surprises

A male Bullheaded Shrike and an immature Black Crowned Night Heron near my flat this afternoon......

Some birds from around town.............

A quiet couple of days in town..................

An afternoon off..............

A rarity these days.............yesterday afternoon I had no classes so I could take a walk down the river for a coupls of hours.

A bit of a lull

A bit of a quiet fortnight just passed me by....................

Siskins and Redpolls......................

A skulker lingering on.............

A juvenile Night Heron was the only bird of note on a short walk this afternoon. It's been snowing since I headed back a few hours ago with a lot forecast for the next few days. This bird had better think about heading south. Soon.
