PS...... notice the hand on the right of photo, that was the man from motability getting ready to grab the steering wheel if neccessary...lol

These were taken by Vic the OH:))

This Salmon was found by Vic the same time as the Swan, plus another salmon nearer the Swan. l know they die after spawning, but surely its abit late now?

And this Buzzard, he's often about but not this close:))
What a beauty:)


This Swan was found by Vic covered in blood, he phoned the rspca who came and
tried to catch it, but could'nt, they came all the way from Bridge End(sp) to Monmouth. The bird has since cleaned itself up and moved on. Vic kept watch over it for nearly a week and also kept in touch with rspca by mobile. One lass arrived from Newport to try to help, but again they could'nt reach. We can only hope its ok now??


This foal lives at stables near us and Vic passes then everyday. The owners daughters horse is about to foal too, can't wait:)



My favourite birds the Cormorant, we have approx 12 that roost on
the tree's along the banks of the RiverWye....every year they come back. l think
they are elegant birds and extremely clever especially since seeing that Chinese
fisherman that uses them to fish for him:)

These are interesting from Shaun:)))

Thank you Shaun, l really must have ago at this, will look for your recipe on your thread during the weekend.
All the items are described on AnnGlos Bird thread:)

Lovely weekend everyone:)

These are from Shaun.......

Shaun, what a lovely photo's, we don't get either of these butterflies in our garden:((



My nephew and his partner are both nature mad and tried breeding butterflies. A neighbour was supposed to feed them one weekend whilst nephew was away....she forgot and the butterflies all died, so he's not breeding them again until he has things more organised.
