Lunny was put and about as usual so will put two of her fabulous shots on now.
I went across to the church with Tina before 8.30am and did some more polishing of the lectern, this time just using the Autosol.
That was before I started, I decided to have a go at the eagles breast first.
Then the wings, not properly shiny yet but on the way. Haven’t yet touched its back!
Yesterday I was watching a great tit on the mirror in the walled garden with Tina. By the time I got the camera it was gone. Saw them again this morning and went for the camera, missed the action again so left the camera in the laundry room. Pics would have to be through a small double glazed and not very clean window! Did clean the windows a bit after the first photo!
Out of the corner of my eye I detected a movement and at first was delighted as it was a wren. Then my heart sank as I think it is nesting in the wall. Did manage to catch it on film thought which delighted me.
After lunch I walked up to the cottage hospital as I had a physio appointment. A really lovely lady called Julie gave me some new exercises but thought that I was in pretty good shape ahead of surgery. I walked home as well. My knees have been quite sore today but last night I developed a rash around my knees where I have been using the gel, so now the supports and the gel are off the cards! Julie did suggest ice so have done that once since I got home. I went not the laundry room again when I got back and got another picture of the great tit.
Pandora does a lot of bird watching in the walled garden but today she was on squirrel watch! She is under the chair, not the one the tin man is on, and the squirrel is up on the wall!
Last picture of the day, the squirrel checking her out!
A great selection of pics today! The sunrise is really colourful. I can see why your friend goes down there every morning. Think I would too. Your first pic actually looks like the trees are on fire!
ReplyDeleteWell the eagle is getting cleaner, and it does show. That’s a lot of elbow grease you’ve put into it and there’s a fair bit more to come I suspect. It should look great when it’s totally done.
The pics of the birds through the little double glazed window are lovely. Even when they’re really clean it’s still not easy. The great tit looks like it’s doing a “Harry Worth” with its reflection. That should confuse anyone who hadn’t grown up with British TV 😊 You did extremely well to capture the wren. They are so small, and fast! Really cute little things though. Hope you don’t get the problems with them and the cats like you’ve had in the past ☹️ I also like the cat/squirrel stand-off you managed to capture. I think the squirrel would out run and out climb the cat “most” times. It does look very cute sat atop the wall.
Great day for pictures, and a varied bunch at that. Shame the troubles with the knees spoiled it a bit. The ice pack on the knees is a good idea, but knowing you’re luck you’ll get frostbite 🥶😊
It was nice to get some ‘different’ pictures today, I was pretty pleased with the ones through the window, never thought that would be a good vantage point for wildlife pics!
ReplyDeleteThe great tit at the mirror is fascinating to watch, I think it may be finding bugs as well as getting to know it’s imaginary friend!
Hopefully by late summer I will be mobile enough to make my way to the sea for sunrises, something to aim for!
