Here are some photos I took of birds and butterflies that made those walks worthwhile.
Great Spotted Woodpeckers when not at a feeder so often tend to hide behind branches and 'chip' at you! This one was kind to me for a very short space of time.
I was chuffed to see this Comma enjoying the autumn sunshine.
These Black-headed Gulls were lined up on the bridge as if to say 'whose going to be first to be skinny dipping then!' 
Below is the reason for my title today. At last, I seem to be getting closer to my goal of taking a decent photograph of Winter Wren. This little guy let me get closer and closer to him, one small step at a time. At the time he was having a singing battle with a wren on the other side of the path. Made my day! (-:

Congratulations Jen.
You got him at last and they are some lovely images as well.
The Great Spot was good and its amazing how these Commas hang around into the Autumn.
Um, what's this about skinny dipping???
Hi Roy, thanks for that. I will continue to try and get better ones. Don't think I'll be joining those BHG's! (-:
Oh wow, I know how much I struggle with bird photos so I do admire these. The woodpecker doing its work and the little wren in full song! Well done. Your little reserve sounds so lovely. We have the Bison Range which is about 14 miles away.
PS, I purchased my gin yesterday for the recipe you gave me. Thank you again!
Hi Wren
Nice shots of your namesake. Glad you liked the leaves post - I had lots of fun putting that together....many shots deleted!
See you next week, Adgi
Hi Christine, I'm glad you liked the bird pics, I enjoy trying to get close enough which doesn't happen to often! Hope you have fun with the Raspberry Gin, hic! (-:
Hi Adgi
Yep, it's good fun to put these blog posts together. Might be the week after cos of the weather.....
will let you know.
You really made me smile here Jenny Wren!! You did such a beautiful job on that little sweet wren! Those gulls are halrious! The comma is beautiful and the woodpecker is just a real treat!
Great job and great fun!!
Hi Evie
Glad I made you smile. Each of those shots made my day.
I don't see how you could improve any on those 3 wren shots! Lovely! So perky and sweet! I love the gulls on the rail :-) Did I miss the Raspberry Gin recipe or is that a private recipe?
Hi Mary. Glad you liked the Jenny Wren shots. The Sloe Gin recipe is on the end comment on my Autumn walk posting (a couple back). Sloes are the berry of the Blackthorn tree (Prunus spinosa), not sure if you have them over there, but my brother did the same recipe but with raspberries. Hope you have a go! (-:
