It's That Time Of Year...Spring Part 1...

Spring has sprung and the grass had rise I know where the business is.... Everywhere!!! I can't seem to get away from it this time of year, Fighting, Flirting, Feeding and that’s just in my way through town but on a serious note this is just an amazing time of year to be out and about watching the birds and the babies, I just love finding a nest then sitting back in the undergrowth watching the adult birds come and go and tracking the progress and weighting for them to fledge, up to date I have never managed to see a set of chicks fledge, slightly disheartening but as long as a see chick the day before and find and empty untampered nest, it keeps me very happy, recently I have been watching 7 - 8 nest with two fledging in the last week...

I haven’t had anytime recently to keep up to date with my blogs or even spend to much time out and about, due to this I have been spending a lot more time around my local area within ten minuets or less of my house and I have rediscover my love of my local area that I sometimes take for advantage...

Since my last blog I have been working on a series of photographs that I like to think catches the Essence of early spring, I hope that you like the results















This is my favourite shot that I have taken over the last few week, I took this whilst watching this Woodpigeon collecting twigs and building a nest at Marshide...

I Really hope that you like it...



Anyway thank you for looking at my blog, sorry I haven’t been updating my blog regularly but now I have finished university I should be able to when I take the pictures,

Thanks Always Lee Harrison

Mere Sands Magic...

I've spent a few hour down at Mere Sands Wood over the last few days in hope of catching up with one of 4 birds, either a blackcap which I was yet to see this year, a Reed Warbler which I have never been able to photograph, a Tawny Owl which are always lovely to see or a Kingfisher which is a rare and amazing treat if you get to photograph them... But for me I think that someone must of been looking over me as I managed get all three in two day, the Reed Warbler, Kingfisher and Tawney Owl on Saturday and the Blackcap and the Tawney owl again, here are some of the photos I managed to get on the way around:-

Blackcap

Reed Warbler

Tawney Owl

And last but defiantly not least, this beautiful kingfisher that turned up after only 10 minuets of waiting, although I did wait for another 3 hours and it never returned:-

Kingfisher

As I was just returning to the car, I came across this gorgeous baby Robin which to me was probably the highlight of the day:-

As I returned home, the Weather set in and I was treated to some very nice shots Overlooking the BEAUTIFUL town of Chorley:-

Anyway I hope that you like this blog, I'm rather happy with it, please feel free to leave any comments,
