Virtually nothing moving this afternoon at Ness Gardens. I was hoping for some butterflies but there were hardly any about and those that were were very active and on the wing. Small and dark brown and vanishing is all I got to see. This moorhen is a juvenile I think, on the basis of size. There were two adults nesting here and they had two chicks. I think this must be one of them.  DSCF8352.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Urban Sedge Warbler from Salisbury city centre. Really pleased with the photo considering it was taken with the RF 18-135mm lens that's bundled as a kit with Canon R series bodies.  sedge warbler by Martin Bone, on Flickr |

Seen quite a few greater spotted woods around though this is the first time got a couple of shots of a green. He was quite a way away so it's a bit of a crop too far  SHCF2522-01 by Stephen Hayto, on Flickr  SHCF2526-01 by Stephen Hayto, on Flickr |

I would never have seen it if it hadn't moved. I lifted the shadows [too much] to make it more visible. Moorhen on nest.  DSCF8396.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Nae pics (well beyond the reach of my superzoom) but saw a family of snipe today, which made me very happy. I've known they were there but not previously seen them, so to see a whole group was delightful.  Edit to say, I did get phone pics through the scope but they aren't great. |

They are so well camouflaged they are almost impossible to pick up.  BV9R0346.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I got talking to a dog walker by the Water of Leith one day who pointed at the heron on a branch overhanging the river: "I call him Mr Grumpy, because he NEVER says hello!"  |
