London and Local

This first group of images was taken at the London Wetlands Centre, Barnes, earlier this month.  You can see that it was a frosty morning with bright sunshine.


Black Swan

Egyptian Goose


Robin

Cormorant





Shoveler ♂

Blue-winged Goose






Sticking together


Big Bird (courtesy of British Airways) going into London Heathrow

Grey Heron



The remainder were taken a locally at Stourhead, Wiltshire.

The frequency of damp, dark days prompted me to take a flash-gun when I was exploring the woodland edges.  These images were by way of experimentation.


Robin


"Hark!"







This Blackbird allowed me 3 frames and then he was off.



Neptune

Unknown Goddess

Well, unknown to me!  These statues are in a grotto in the Stourhead Estate gardens.


Marsh Tit

Coal Tit

Who's your friend  –  Blue Tit?


The last two images were taken at a little feeding-station next to the kiosk at one of the entrances to the gardens.
