Snowdrops in Toft Churchyard

We have just a few snowdrops sowing in Toft churchyard along with White Dead nettle while the mosses on the walls and gravestones are in full fruit. A few glimpses of the flocks of Fieldfares on my walk across the fields to Comberton and back.

Rainy Day in Cambridge

I walked through Cambridge this morning in the pouring rain and took a few snaps with my pocket camera of people with umbrellas.

Stanwick Lakes - Where Were All the Birds?

 The very high water levels in the Lakes and the river Nene resulted in a lot fewer birds than previous visits. Coupled with overcast skies and strong winds meant we had a pretty sparse day as regards subjects to photograph though the feeders produced good opportunities including Muntjac deer.

. However, the group enjoyed a long walk round the reserve and a warming drink/lunch in the visitor centre

Water Birds at Summer Leys

Some of the birds that we photographed at Summer Leys yesterday afternoon when the weather improved to give occasional sunny intervals but still with rain showers.

Summer Leys Birds at the Feeders

Despite the rain and poor light, our RPS Nature Group managed to photograph a wide variety of passerines on the feeders. Good to see about 6 Bullfinches among the other finches.
