Winds up again and snow on the hills. Went for a ride with a friend and came across a field with hundreds of Canada Geese grazing and after searching all the geese managed to find two or a pair of Barnacle Geese. On the way home visited a river near Pwllheli and after a while saw a pair of Dippers. Common Scoters at Criccieth far out to sea riding the waves.

Thank you, most kind. I haven't taken any photos yet to-day apart from the 52's, been to lunch and sat knitting. :D

Left it a bit late in the day for an exciting photo, so here is the pile of old fencing posts the farmer drop into my shed for me. I use a bow saw and an ancient horse and make all into little pieces to burn. Some are awful to saw and I give them away to someone with a big log burner.
I could have use the photo for the 52's but I think I can find something more exciting.

A friends daughter was told she would never have a baby after getting cancer but miracles do happen and this has to be the most gorgeous baby I have ever seen, now one month old.

Heavens Shirley, has spring come early in your neck of the woods? No sign of anything in our garden.

That is a very nice clear shot of the flower heads - definite like from me.

4C raw cold, rain on and on it comes down.
The mist still hanging on the sea, put a filter on the photo, makes it more interesting.

Had high hopes for a sunny day until it started to drizzle and again it just carried on and on and on. Ended up birding from a shed which is ok'ish.
Caught sight of a Goldcrest feeding, a real test for photography.

That second one with the wing movement is great - well done Shirley.
 
Thanks again to you both, its a bit of a challenge to get an interesting photo every day. The fact that all three of us like birding is a bonus. I've started my own Facebook group on wild birds of the Lleyn peninsula, every day I search for something to post on it but its got to be good or the few tops birders I managed to get to join will soon get fed up. In actual fact the group is for the beautiful birds like garden and ciuntryside.

People are coming to find the Iceland Gull but there is a slight hitch in the form of a Buzzard. He cleared the Gulls yesterday and he's back to-day and watching and waiting.

#2 and #3 for me Shirley - well done.

Walking in the wood to-day and forgot to take nuts and the Blue Tits were coming closer and closer, ideal for a photo. Whilst further away a Great Spotted Woodpecker was looking for something.

@Shirleyr You have some really nice shots up now, just a question, do you use Spot metering on your camera for the birds ?
I try to, as I am trying to get the subject as sharp as I can. I'm trying very hard not to push the camera down when pressing the shutter.
 
I usually take feed, the Blue and Great Tits always perch close to me and then I sprinkle seed here and there, I forgot to take feed the other day and the Blue Tit in the photo came so close and I took an easy photo. If I leave feeders then the squirrels tear them to pieces.
 
I use Corel but I cannot clone anything out because I fiddle about and then give in. I used to be able to do it but I upgraded and then forgot. I do have a manual but don't really get interested enough to read it.
