Well there is not doubt of the common name of this shrub, a Butterfly bush.

A Bat out at Midday

Thank you John F-S for what I think is our first bat photo here at parwich.org. But why was it out and about on a Wednesday lunch time?
A Persistant Pigeon
Posted in Ornithology, Photography on Wednesday August 27, 2014| 2 Comments »
This racing pigeon appeared during the rain yesterday morning. In the afternoon I found it in my kitchen trying to open a bag of bird seed. It would only go outside when I took the bird seed out. It is getting on well with my cat, but is reluctant to move out of the way so I can use the car. As the weather is beginning to deteriorate again this evening, it wants to come back into the house.

Thank you David G for these photos captioned “Although they can be a blot on the landscape, they can also be MISTYcal“.

A Parwickian in New York
Posted in Ornithology, Out & About, Photography on Thursday August 21, 2014| 4 Comments »
Thank you Debbie W for responding to our call for more photographs, though these are perhaps a little outside our area. However in August we allow some latitude (some 72 degrees in this case):
Although I’m no John F-S or David G, thought people might enjoy the attached. I write this while on holiday here at my dad’s house in upstate New York (Canandaigua, Finger Lakes region).
I found a nest on his property while picking wild blackberries. Field research means I now know it is a bird called an American Goldfinch? I decided to take one photo a day, at the same time each day (10:00 am) and gave myself approximately 1 to 2 minutes to get the shot to ensure as little disturbance as possible to the nest and contents. I’m being watched closely by ‘mom’ who flies to a near by tree and watch – and scold me rather loudly – during each photo ‘session’.
The story so far…
Three more photographs added 22nd August 2014, and a further three photos added 23rd Aug:
Yesterday all was quiet on the nest front, everyone was asleep. Today they were awake and hungry! It is really interesting to note that some birds are now opening their eyes, and also the feathers are beginning to come in for their wings. I counted five little beaks – so far all eggs are still accounted for.
Another photo added 25th Aug:
Yesterday Evening in the Garden
Posted in About this site, Flora, Gardens, Photography on Wednesday August 20, 2014| Leave a Comment »
We have had some fantastic photos sent into the Blog recently, including some from new contributors. Do keep sending in shots of local scenes and local life. Also don’t forget our area includes Alsop, Ballidon and Pikehall, so photos taken in these hamlets are very welcome. To get you saying ‘I can do better than that’ here are a few garden ones I took last night.

More ‘Swallow Watch’

Do you remember this photo from July, of the swallows amazing skill of drinking whilst still on the wing?
Well this recent fledgling illustrates that is a skill that has to be mastered, pictured here by John F-S ignominiously flat on the water and then taking off again.
Parwich Pole Dancing?

It makes one wonder what music John F-S was playing to elicit this. Do give your suggestions for the sound track.
