Lovely warm September morning. Went out after nine a.m in order to photograph the dragonflies and the little birds. A good day I predict!
Sunday 17th September
Coot. Even though the breeding season has long gone, these birds are still fighting over territory.
Mute Swan family from the North Marsh. The other adult is just out of shot.
Yarrow. I was struck by the vividness of the pink flowers.
The last few days have been pretty poor, for photography, damp and overcast. Not being a photographer that likes to carry a tripod means that this sort of weather restricts my ability to get any quality images. I have a feeling I will have to invest in a light-weight tripod otherwise I will not get any photos at all. The photos today have been taken during the brief sunny intervals.
Saturday 9th September
Today's walk was an early one, so that is why the images are of birds. The insects were still asleep.
