It was very windy and very few birds about.
A female Mallard posed beautifully, on top of one of the rails of the small bridges. Their feather colouring and marking really is amazing!
After a while, the drake flew in to join her
I can advise that he didn't push her off the rail :D
At this time of the year, there's usually more in the insect world to photograph than birds. And it's a really enjoyable time of the year too. More to come over the next couple of months!
Green veined White Butterfly
Here a Crab Spider has caught its prey. A bee!
This one (of many) was enjoying collecting pollen.
Lovely to feel the warmth of the sun again; it was rather too windy for many decent insect shots especially when using the Macro lens.
And thanks to Gary and Andy for their company :D

Great photos as ever Tricia. I notice blue tails everywhere on Friday up my way. Not so many today though
Superb photos once again. Glad to hear you had a nice sunny day.
I really enjoyed both yesterday's and today's post; great photos! Glad you got to see the barn owl outside.
cheers,
Wilma
Superb pics again Tricia, that Barn Owl is beautiful xxx Love the bee and butterfly pics too x Just lovely, thankyou xxxx
This sun is certainly bringing the insects out Tricia. It's good to see them all again.
Lovely shot of the Barn Owl; and enjoyed the birds of prey in the previous post.
Lovely photos as always, Tricia. I think Mallards are very underrated just because we see so many of them which is a shame as they have beautiful colouring and are always entertaining.
Love the Barn Owl!
