Parwich Village Photograph

Posted in 2012, Events, Memorial hall, Photography, Posts of Note on Friday June 8, 2012| 1 Comment »

We had an excellent turnout for the Parwich Village Photograph taken at the Memorial Hall last Tuesday. The picture was taken slightly early to take advantage of a lucky lull in the rain.

Many thanks to all for putting up with the ‘arrangement’ of the group and also to John F-S for taking the picture.

You can click here to download a high resolution copy of this photograph. Click on the little picture that appears, then select ‘File’ and ‘Download’. The picture may take a short while to transfer to your computer.

You can also order a colour A4 print of the picture using this form. Photographs cost £1.50 each. The form must be received, together with a cheque, by Saturday 16th June 2012 so the prints can be ordered.

Hope you can spot yourselves clearly!

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!

Greedy

Posted in Ornithology, Photography on Thursday April 12, 2012| Leave a Comment »

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.
