(possibly a new birder thing)....................Why?, When you see a new bird and get all excited, telling everyone and showing off, do you then become that particular birds' "stalkee"?
I saw a redpoll for the first time last week and was well chuffed that I had got a couple of i.d. shots, and to be honest was well impressed by my latest "tick"
However, every time I have gone out since, they seem to be following me everywhere, posing and pouting.:t:
It was the same with the stonechats and the heron..........everytime I go out it's almost "morning Ian" and it is brilliant.
I've stuck on a couple of this mornings shots, which to be honest is really just to share them as I was quite chuffed with the results, without a great deal of effort I might add.
The loch is completely frozen this morning apart from around the wee jetty where the swan held me captive previously, which meant that all of the birds were congregated in the one place and I could get a good look at them, which was great.
We had the usual gulls, swans, coots, moorhens, canada geese, mallards, tufties and goldeneye but alas no sign of the previously seen Goosanders which was a shame as I could have got some great "close shots".
Still haven't found the Grebes yet either, but they apparently skulk about in one of the marshier areas.
This is now beginning to sound like a diary.:t: Sadly though, work is sure to take over at some point as my priorities are all wrong at the minute. :-O:-O:t:
