Vipers Bugloss.

This stunning blue flower was on the riverbank of a meadow close to the monnow at Kentchurch, standing two foot high in the evening sunshine.

Canada Goose.

Changeing from ugly gosling ( not really ) to beautiful.

Broad Bodied libellula.

When i first saw this buzzing around i thought it was a hornet bee, it wasn't untill i focused the camera onto it that i could see it was this impressive female dragonfly.

Tree Sparrow.

Just a handfull of these pretty little sparrows visit every year.

Wood Pigeon.

A pair try nesting in my cherry tree but i think it's much too noisey in there for them.

Canada Geese.

Mother Goose looks in as father gander takes it easy.

SUNSET.

Watching the sun go down over Haybluff, from the top of Garway Hill. Lovely ending to the day.

The Pied Wagtail is a real poser by Skenfrith Castle and along beside it on the river Monnow a very good habitat.

Greenfinch.

This family of five Greenfinch soon found that wild bird seed that they need to help with their survival.

Magpies.

These are my famous bread dipping magpies. The original one only has one eye, but that was no problem learning their young to dip their bread.

Dunnock.

This little Dunnock ( Hedge Sparrow ) was one of the first young new arrivals in my garden for 2005. About six dunnocks are a regular site hopping around the lawn and rockery.
