May goeth on

Eighteenth of May


Back garden rose
You'll probably get a lot of these 'cause I like roses



Still on the nest
You'll probably get a lot of these 'cause I like grebes




Guess the flower





























'tis
a
raspberry
flower






Not a dandelion but common hawkweed





This is the largest coot brood I've seen





Proud mama
Dad was between the kids and the footpath keeping folk at bay




Ribwort plantain




Swanlet





Tuesday the Nineteenth of May




Two tits on the feeder




Stroppy looking tit




Mummy with twelve (TWELVE!) chicks




On the nest
There's no way that I know of telling the gender of a great crested grebe: they take turns sitting on the eggs





All the family






Wednesday the Twentieth of May



What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
(I did say that I like roses)


The pond



Extreme zoom to show that there's four eggs in the grebe's nest
Four's a lot for a grebe, at least as far as I know on the pond



Swan, swanlets and grebe
you can see the zoomage and croppage in the previous pic



The swan took a discrete path around the grebe's nest



Blue tit looking startled
There are at least three different families of tits being fed from here.





Thursday the Twenty First of May


More rose!





Friday the Twenty Second of May




Small mallard family




Still there




Dog rose




Mum on guard
