My wife & I were on a campsite a few weeks ago and while sat in the shade shooting the breeze were watching the wildlife and taking the odd photo of them
This blackbird was trying to keep cool
but eventually decided to leave
Not far away a Goldfinch was preening itself
and having a good old preen
while it's mate looked for the odd morel
A squirrel spotted we had put out some bread
and went to investigate
Behind him a dragonfly sun itself on a twig
Do I come closer for that piece of bread
Yes I will
Not sure I should have with that dog nearby
Maybe I'll hide
Mean while the blackbird watched on
Amazing what you can see if you sit sill and watch

Great bird photos, and I love the squirrel, too!
ReplyDeleteLovey images Bill, have a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteYou must have been so still to capture those photos.
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking a squirrel will think with their stomach!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! The squirrel is so cute.
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to spend your time at the campsite, Bill. Have a good day today whatever you're doing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting seeing the goldfinch there. Looks a bit different from the goldfinches here. Quite a cute little finch! Nice to see the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It reminds me how much I miss my long walks at the Desert Botanical Garden. It's too hot right now. There a couple of place there where I sit and watch as the birds and ground squirrels go about their business.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to see what we might have missed by being on the move all the time!
