Dragon goes Wild

  • Supermoon…. or a Mini Cheddar cheese?

    Another photo from yesterday’s ‘supermoon’ today – taken just a few moments after the first one, but the colours look totally different. #30dayswild

  • Another month, another supermoon

    The final “supermoon” of 2016, and a good job I took the photo when I did, as 10 minutes later the clouds have obscured the moon completely. #30dayswild

  • Super Moon glow

    Another photo from this week’s ‘supermoon’ today. The cloud obscured most of the moon, which resulted in a particularly picturesque view! The sky looks an orangey brown behind the clouds, and if you look closely you can just make out the edge of the moon in the centre of the photo. #30dayswild

  • Posing Goldfinch

    While the House Sparrows were hogging the bird bath, this Goldfinch sat on the edge of the Ornamental Quince. He seemed to be pretending not to pay any attention to them, but almost looked like he was watching the water flying out of the corner of his eye. #30dayswild

  • Drip Drying

    After all that bathing, you need to sit somewhere safe to drip dry – this House Sparrow chose the tallest branch to sit in, while appearing to ponder over another dip in the bird bath. #30dayswild

  • Bathing birds – another caption

    Back to the bathing birds, and another caption – the House Sparrow on the right doesn’t look too happy at the other birds sharing his bath…. what do you reckon he’s thinking? #30dayswild

  • Supermoon (a day early)

    The forecast for tomorrow evening is thick cloud, so I took the opportunity to take a photo of the ‘Supermoon’ a day early! I love the way the stripes of clouds formed perfectly horizontally across the moon. Did you know that on Monday (November 14th), the moon will be the closest since 1948? It won’t…

  • Caption the Sparrow!

    There’s something about this photo that is crying out for a caption – just what is the House Sparrow on the left saying? #30dayswild
