Dragon goes Wild

Category: Dragon Goes Wild

  • Bright Blue Skies

    A complete contrast to yesterday’s grey, murky weather – today was really warm with clear blue skies! You wouldn’t think that was taken less than 24 hours after yesterday’s photo, would you? #30dayswild

  • Mobbed by Seagulls

    Not the most inspired of days weather-wise today – the cloud is still there, but by 3pm the fog had started to clear a little on the hills. Not the best of days for birdwatching either, as the Army have been flying around the area, which tends to put most of the larger birds off.…

  • Do you leave water for the birds?

    With the hot weather that’s been forecast, we’re making sure to keep the bird bath topped up. Not only do the birds enjoy a cooling bath, but they also can drink from it. For the smaller birds, we also have a water-filled plant saucer with a pebble in – the pebble helps to stop the pigeons from…

  • A Meal Fit for a Crow

    When you think of a garden house-style bird feeder, you think of small birds flying into it to get the food. The local larger birds have other ideas,with a seagull sitting on the top of the feeder, trying to figure out how to get in! The gull didn’t manage it, but the local crows proved…

  • Can you spot it?

    Flicking through my photos from a recent walk, I came across this shot, and suddenly noticed something I hadn’t spotted originally…. Can you spot it? The bird on the left-hand side? It’s a young Bluetit which either had just had a bath, or got caught out in the rain! It’s one of those photos where…

  • Public Footpath

    Leading on from yesterday’s wildflowers, there are several different public footpaths leading through fields, but also this one which leads alongside the old MOD site, eventually crossing a neighbouring field. Looking at the start of this path, you wouldn’t believe it actually is a right of way; I don’t think it’s all that well-used given the way…

  • Country Lane?

    It used to feel like you’re in the countryside, but at the top of the hill there’s now two large new housing developments on the site of an old Ministry of Defence site. They’ve already added in some grassy areas, but the entire site looks totally different to how it used to. What hasn’t changed however, is…

  • Moooooooooooo

    Two fields on from the sheep, we found just a few more cows than we’d anticipated seeing. Judging by the number of cows staring at us, it was probably a good reason to not follow the public footpath through the field! They all looked content to just munch through the grass, almost in a competition with the…

  • Baaaaa Humbug

    We’re used to seeing horses and cows in the fields nearby, but although we’ve heard some sheep before, we’ve never spotted them in the field…. until now! There was something about the way this particular sheep was munching the grass while staring at us, that was too photogenic to pass up. They didn’t seem to mind the…

  • Woodland trail

    A slightly clearer pathway for today, although you do have to be careful of the stinging nettles on each side. The tree to the right seemed to be chirping – as we got closer, lots of small birds flew from the hedgerow on the left, into that tree. They hid behind the leaves, so I’m not…
