We might well be into September now but I am still catching up with making some of my photos from earlier in the year available. These are from a walk along the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n

\"Juvenile<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the cute things spotted on the walk along the river were several juvenile Grey Wagtails.<\/p>\n

\"Juvenile<\/a><\/p>\n

One of them was calling out to be fed, bobbing about and making a racket. The above image is a link to a video of it babbing and calling.<\/p>\n

\"Adult<\/a><\/p>\n

The adults were busy catching insects and feeding their young.<\/p>\n

\"Blackbird\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blackbirds were both on the ground pushing leaves away to get at insects and also up in the trees eating berries.<\/p>\n

\"Jay\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There also seemed to be a couple of Jay families around. This one is waiting patiently to be fed<\/p>\n

\"Jay\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but could raise its crest and demand to be fed when an adult was around.<\/p>\n

\"Grey<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this Crow is trying to convince the Grey Heron to move on and not be near its youngsters,<\/p>\n

\"Grey<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s amazing that Herons can get quite big fish and other animals down a throat that thin. I think that is looks could kill then that Crow would be smouldering by now.<\/p>\n

\"Crow<\/a><\/p>\n

But it looks rather slick and healthy.<\/p>\n

\"Goosander\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the far side of the river I spotted a female Mandarin Duck with 3 almost fully grown youngsters – nice to see. There was also a family of Goosander. Here is a photo of 2 of the young.<\/p>\n

As usual you can click on an image to see it in an album on Flickr. You can see the album here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
