These photos were taken in these last two days. It has been windy and cold and has rained profusly, but part of each day has been dry, and warm enough to go for a walk so camera at the ready I took advantage of these dry spells to go for walks in and around the property.
I started my walk by leaving from the front door and going the rounds taking photos of trees which surround the house, When I reached the back door I took some more, and ventured into the garden where I took photos of flowers ferns and leaves which appealed to me.
Balcony shot of a Greenfinch.
Two balcony shots taken when I had finished my walk.
Not as pretty looking now, but it still adds a little colour to the garden.
These tangerines should be ready to eat by Christmas.
Murkywater prevented me from getting good shots of these two water loving creatures.
I was surprised to see a young Newt swimming in the water.
It tried to hide from me under some leaves.
On Monday morning just before lunch I took these shots of the captivating CrestedTit.
My Grand.daughter Sara twisted her ankle, so my daughter Eva took her to an adjacent town to ours, where Sara goes to physiotheropy for an injured foot and her place of employ is in the visinity. Eva waited to take Sara to work and whilst doing so looked at a few shops. Out of curiosity she entered one which sold fish and various kinds of lizards, both in large tanks. She inquired if the proprietor knew of a place where she could buy dried mealworm for birds. He told her that he fed the fish and lizards mealworm as part of their diet and also sold tubs of it to his customers. Eva bought a large tub knowing how pleased I would be when I found out, as I had been searching for mealworm for years without success. The Coal-tits love it.
We have been having some lovely sunsets so I'm including some in my post.
I will be linking to Wild Bird Wednesday and Saturday's Critters
