A Bullfinch making short work of Dandelion seed heads. He would eat the seeds and then clean his beak on the plant stem.

This chap had a near miss when a work boot just missed stepping on him/her.

So before moving the frog I thought I would give him/her a bit of fame has my shot of the day. I don’t think I impressed him/her for after the shot it hopped off to somewhere safer.

Took this shot at 4.45 am from my home. The mist was moving slowly across the lake has the sun rose above the hills. Its a pity I can’t add sound to the photograph,for the sound of the birds singing in the new day was beautiful.

Bug

This fly landed on a white towel and posed for the camera, have to say it was a great model. Nothing annoyed it and I could take my time setting up for the shots. Not a glamour model to some but then how do we look to them.
