A local miscellany (pre-Christmas)

There are still lots of images from 2014 to go!  Here is a miscellany of images taken locally last month prior to Christmas.


Stourhead, Wiltshire:


Mute Swan



These were taken shortly after sunrise and I was pleased with the effect of the early light on the water



Mallard





Song Thrush



Pity about the point-of-view.  We were in a relatively confined space and the bird arrived on foot from shrubbery.  It was very trusting and fussed about 'around my feet'.  Any attempt to get down would have spooked it.  I couldn't tempt it up onto anything.

Dunnock





Steeple Langford, Wiltshire:


Black-headed Gull



Coot






Great Crested Grebe



Gadwall
