Images from Par...

AMENDMENT: Having looked at the field guide this morning I have ascertained that the Goose is a Bar Headed Goose - escapee! This is also the view of a couple of people I consider to be expert bird watchers!

Having spent a little time in the garden today (in between cleaning bursts!) we decided to get out to Par for a hour... I'll be glad when the Abbot gets his camera back. He seems lost without it. I offered mine again, but it was politely refused. Deafness is like solitary confinement and the camera for Trevor seems to have been a release from that, inducing communication with the outside world through the pictures he puts up on his blogs.

An unusual visitor at Par Pool - Hybrid/Domestic Goose I think... Seems to like hanging out with the Canada Geese and they don't seem to mind. When it called out I was amazed.... It was a lovely sound (again, something that the Abbot missed completely); and such a pretty bird...

Honeysuckle/Blue Tit

I recentlty trimmed the triffid Honeysuckle in the garden (not a lot... just enough to see the birds on their perches) and this Blue Tit obviously found something tasty to munch on at the cut, as it was there for about five minutes nibbling away!
