JF-S has just returned from holiday in Cornwall and although the weather was mixed on the good days he was able to relax in the jacuzzi with his friend.
Are swallows mobile maters?

This is the technical question, do swallows mate in the air? Or are they just having fun in the air? For more detail click on each photo!

The swallows are slowly returning to Parwich. Now look closely at this photo or click and enlarge it, and you can see that JF-S has not only captured the bird but also a daddy long legs. What are the chances of this? Remarkable photography.
Like a Vulcan Bomber

Not JF-S’s normal sleek, elegant and streamlined ornithological photo, but this cheeky pigeon is more like a vulcan bomber than a nippy spitfire.
First Swallow Photographed

First photographs of this year’s swallows, taken this morning by Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus, click to enlarge the photo. Bet they wish they were back in Africa – it is freezing outside.
First Swallows?
Posted in Ornithology on Sunday April 15, 2012| 3 Comments »
The first welcome sight of swallows returning to Blanche Meadow came on 11th April – a few days later than last year. I wonder if the sudden cold snap has delayed them or was it just ours? Has anyone else in the village seen them earlier? At the moment we just have a couple which are usually followed a few days later by the main crowd. The sound of their incessant chattering always evokes thoughts of summer. I expect the next thing will be a sighting of our own familiar species of Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus or should that be Sessionata?

Greedy

I’m not sure whether “greedy” refers to the goldfinches which are gorging themselves on a full container of niger seeds or that JF-S seems to have Parwich’s full quota of these gorgeous birds.

Bullfinch

Bullfinch or Pyrrhula pyrrhula is “widespread” across the country but not often seen unless you are in JF-S’s garden. Click to enlarge.

This little owl is well camouflaged, but nothing escapes the lens of JF-S.

Our Spotted Flycatchers have successfully reared 3 chicks which have now left their nest and are flying about from tree to tree. You can see the smallest two being fed a tasty wasp in these pics.
