The Sun was out again for the last 2 days and it's getting warmer, really looking forward to the summer and working on the bog for a few days, I can't wait..

A couple of snaps for Littlebug & Mothman to get them in the mood.....:)

A collage of wild flowers that I made which grow on the bog..

What's the bottom right flower? I've seen it around last year. Was it growing in very wet conditions. It looks like some foxglove species.........

Hi Feargal, I think you are correct in that it is a type of foxglove, here is the original photo in full size, it might help you identify it better, taken around August 2010 in the Boora Lakes bog area.

It's Great Mullein or I also know it as Verbascum.

I added camera details below the pics in the post above.

My Dad's garden shed is a great spot for taking pics from, as there's a row of apple/pear trees right outside the door, which act as a staging point for the birds before they launch themselves at the feeders.

Hearvee, can i ask you: What particular of the cameras you listed above did you use to shoot the Blue Tit & Chaffinch??
Really the best images iv'e seen here; and there's quality photographers here as you can see from previous posts.
I like your idea of a shed/fruit trees as camouflage!! Keep the cool coming images.

I'm sort of cheating as these aren't that recent, but in fairness I only discovered the thread now! Unfortunately nothing particularly rare, but I think they're nice/interesting photos.

He was the odd one out among a bunch of Canadian geese:

I thought his perch in this one was interesting. He's a Magpie.

Barn Swallows against a Cover-All.. well, cover, in an arena.

Incredibly boring type of bird, but again, an interesting perch!

And this one isn't that great a photo, but she had a nest in a vine ball right outside our front door, and I could get within a foot of her without scaring her. It's a contest between her and the robins (who I don't have a picture of) every year as to who gets to nest in that vine ball.

Liah where did you take that photo, that looks like a Mourning Dove to me?

It is! Forgot to mention the shot was taken in Canada. In the original photo, the rim around her eyes is a beautiful cyan/blue. I'll have to try to find the colour one. There's loads of them around my home in Ontario.

Was at the Kildare BWI ringing demonstration this morning.

Light was poor today... and a scruffy lens/camera internals.
