Birds and cattle as the light fades


It's been a while since I've seen egrets at the pond. Nice to see. 


The Magpie is a cheeky little fella, picking away at the cattle. They cattle seem to like it. A perfect relationship.




So many mushrooms around right now, so expect loads more of these shots. I always hunt around for the red ones. Not always easy to find as they seem to be off the beaten path.



Then i saw an Egret, if I wasn't with Bella I might have got a better shot, but the Egret spotted me and flew off.





This time of year its getting dark pretty early, but always atmospheric. I'm always tempted to not bother going out. Seems cold, damp, muddy, but I'm always glad I do. 

Bella took a dip



And so there ends another day in the books.



Equally, I'm never sure about taking my camera. After all I've walked laps of this pond for over 6 years, what more is there to see? Yet every time I pause for a second I seem to get a different perspective.

    Thanks Mark for visiting my blog and taking the time to leave a comment.
    I walk around the same town everyday and I too find different things to take pictures of daily.
    Your photos are beautiful.

    Mark, I had a great time looking at the photos and videos. Egret is different from our Egrets and so amazing. Magpie helps the cow to stay healthy :)
    Great moments and images!
