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.

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.

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

Windy, with sunny spells!
Posted in 2012, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday January 22, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Our roving reporter went for a short walk yesterday past the Bradbury’s farm up to the Tissington Trail. It was certainly a bit of a battle as the wind whistled down from Alsop. There were compensations though. Sporadically, the sun peeked out from behind the swirling clouds, bathing the dale in glorious sunshine. Here are a few pictures giving an impression of this blowy afternoon.
Chrome Hill & The Roaches – Video
Posted in Environment, Films, Photography, Walks & Rides on Saturday January 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Two rather lovely YouTube videos, from Peak District TV & Peak District OnLine, were sent into the Blog.
On a misty morning in the Peak District, the mysteriously named Chrome Hill and its neighbour Parkhouse, near Longnor, are brought to life. Like a weary dinosaur, Chrome Hill appears to be sleeping. The spines on its back are grit stone, tough and hard wearing, but ready for the fight. Both hills have views to die for and the scenery is simply breathtaking.
The majestic Roaches, on the western edge of the Peak District, north of Leek, rise out of the mists revealing a walker’s eye view from the top. The contorted stones are contrasted against the warmth of the sun, the heather a warm burnt amber amongst the bleak grey of the rock, a super area to walk.
