What a lovely picture Hickey! You can catch badgers running round the streets here if you go out at crack of dawn on dustbin day.They raid all the sacks left out - I have never had a camera handy when I've seen them.

Nice pics, Terry!

That 60 year old flamingo is not looking 60 years old! Go flamingo!

If I had to go out armed with a camera ahead of bin collection day to capture badgers I happily would, but not sure I would succeed. I think I'd be more likely to catch a fox round these parrrrrts, although haven't heard or seen one yet.

[hickybank]

Correct, very pretty butterfly to

Avocet chick

I love your flamingo. I have some flamingo pics, but they weren't doing anything very interesting

Avocet chick is very sweet too.

[Herbidacious]

Any ideas about these ones, Terry, or anyone?

[hickybank]

Hi Herby, they are Greylag Geese (Anser anser)

[Herbidacious]

Thanks!

Ticket office this morning

First I thought 'Eh?' Then I thought 'Ah!' Is that a station cat or was it being bought a ticket??

[Herbidacious]

I don't think she lives at the station, but the ticket person called her into the office shortly after I took the photo, so maybe they feed her. She is clearly well looked after and very friendly. I have worried, when she's on the platform, that she might one day get onto a train

In our garden in holiday apartment

Is it just me or do Herons look stupid

[StokeySue]

I’ve always though they look evil, we had one used to stand by the back door at work (on the riverbank) and look at you, affronted, when you came out.

Is it just me or do Herons look stupid

i hadn't noticed it before but looking closer at your avatar i see what you mean! (snigger).

[hickybank]

HA,HA, very funny, I have just had a close look & yes you are right
It actually makes the Heron look quite intelligent

[earthmaiden]

I like herons (except when they raid people's fish ponds). I think they look very graceful.

[Herbidacious]

Some of the sunflowers I agaonized about before holiday. I have some almost brown ones too. Took these on the last day we had nice light. The pictures seem to look better/clearer/more in focus if you click on them.
