Exchange 11.02.11
Exchange 11.02.11
I was just walking by the kitchen window when i saw one of our little blue Tits being seen off by a female Black Cap. Over the years we seem to have only one pair of Black Caps visit the garden, just recently they have taken to the feeders. I managed to grab the camera and through the double glazing get a couple of shots from a distance, so please excuse the quality but thought it was worth showing for the record.

Blue Tit In The Tree 03.02.11
Often away from the group, this little blue tit keeps an eye on me sheltering inside the tree. In the darkness the bird is just hesitating before taking food from the near by feeder.

Shock Remains 30.01.11
Well, It did make me think when I saw this ahead of me. I quickly regained my thoughts as we of course don’t have a back bone like this, phew. I would say on closer inspection it looks like it could be the remains of a deer but will check to make sure before I commit my self. I came across this washed up on the banks of the River Severn nr Arlingham Towers today.

Severn Bore Over Bridge No.1 23.01.11
Severn Bore Over Bridge 23.01.11
A small group of spectators watched in the cold with anticipation for the bore to arrive. A large swell pushed its way to the bridge, still with force. Even after meeting high water levels I was struck by how the huge volume of water still lifted itself and swayed from side to side as the river twisted and turned its way towards Maisemore Weir.
Severn Bore Nr Minsterworth No.1 23.01.11
Severn Bore Nr Minsterworth 23.01.11
The approaching bore looked powerful, twisting and turning, catching & reflecting light like glass as it went through, looking more like oil in appearance.

Severn Bore Wave Pattern Broad Oak 23.01.11
With Winter light just burning through the grey sky, some wonderful reflections were created across the water and following wave ripples in this sequence of pictures.
Severn Bore Surfing Arlingham 23.01.11 No.1
Severn Bore Arlingham Surfing 23.01.11
Rain fell this morning but turned a bit milder with a nice grey sky to greet Surfers at Arlingham. Looking down river a hint of pink sky tried to burn through the grey mist but soon disappeared leaving the lads to surf the bore in style.
