I'm not sure Colleen....but they were certainly spraying...[had quite a nasty niff]...:smoke:

Today i returned to this area taking landscape shots and i was pleased to see good numbers of Fieldfare winging in on an easterly breeze...i always love 'movement'...:cat:

Hope you are well....:t:

Hi Colleen,

More a case of ploughing for planting early. Unfortunately, in most of England, farmers start the winter wheat & other crops straight after harvesting the last.

In the past the stubble fields would have been left until early spring (and therefore provide great habitat & food for wildlife) when Spring wheat, etc were planted.

By the season's end the fields are green again (& of little use to farm birds) and the wheat just grows whenever the temperature allows.


Great images again, U.

As always, reliable and remarkable!

Phil says it well, user. A pleasure to see. I think having lived in a large city for so long I'm always happy to see the big skies and clear horizons of the countryside......even though they struck me as BORING as a youth.........

Even tho i was in twitching mode on the day of the 'Robin' my camera could not resist the shadows and sands rippled by the sea...:cat:

These pix were taken at Holme after watching a Short eared Owl flying high over the sea being harassed by a playful Peregrine...

Cheers Tim...

I feel fairly sure that the two words less kind folk might use would be.."baffling" and "barking"....:smoke: Chuckle...!

I would try and explain that last set of images but i'm sure it would sound 'naff'..however i will say that, to me at least, they do reflect nature...time...and the mark of mankind upon the earth....[see..i told you it would sound rubbish]... I have a love/hate relationship with words...:cat:

ps...cheers to you too Phil...:t:

Perhaps i have subconsciously been influenced by all the 'flowering' Diwali rockets that have been firing through the darkened Shire skies...:cat:

ps...beware....it rains 'sticks' at this time of year...[mind your head]...

great way to introduce the pigeons

Pigeons swirl and mass around a local site of mine...i find them very appealing...as does a large female Peregrine which is often close by...
