 Grey Heron - Aug '11

Sitting as contented as can be upon a little rowing boat at Aldenham Reservoir, Nr. Watford, Hertfordshire.
A lovely spot to go for a walk, it's set inside Aldenham Country Park and has plenty of parking and open space for picnics plus a childrens playground for the younger ones and there is footpath running the full circumference of the resorvoir (about 2 1/2 miles) through a narrow border of woodland with a multitude of birds resident and great views of the sailing boats on the water.
Also there's a pub at the far end called "The Fishery"

Sparrowhawk - Oct '11

Quite a scary site to see in your backgarden, strangely there were no other birds in sight - wonder why?

A charm of Goldfinches - Oct '11

Absolutely loads of the little darlings.
Taken in my daughters backgarden in Watford
If you look really carefully you can see one poor little Blue Tit in the top right corner
