Garden, birds & flowers

Wet dull weather most of the week but still managed some photography in the garden. Blackbird in the shadows, Paeony in the rain

Otmoor

Early morning start at Otmoor, Nr. Oxford. Arrived 5:25am, overnight rain had just stopped and the sky clearing. Turtle doves calling, redshank and snipe active, Glossy Ibis still around but only seen at a distance. Stayed until lunchtime hoping to see the hobbies hunting, only two active with one coming very close overhead. Will need to go back mid-afternoon to try when hopefully there will be more activity.
