More Mist

By Words | Published February 19, 2011

This morning the mist was even more dense than yesterday. As you can see…

Or can't see…

Things were a little better at lunchtime. It was still overcast, but the smaller birds were active and a small flock of long tailed tits were flitting among the trees.

Several greylags were out on the pond…

And the blue tits added just a dash of colour to the overwhelming grey vista.

    Words, I think that would qualify for more than mist!
    Nice shots!
    These last two are wonderful!

    Yes, bordering on fog! :left: :right:

    Long-tailed tit :up: The small birds are certainly getting quite active.

    The last picture is great. :up:
    Works out as well as my Robbi.
    In any case, the branch bends but threatening. :yikes:

    Adele, yes the long-tailed tits are always fun to see. The shot here was the only one where I managed a clear view with no intervening twigs or branches. They're as flighty as ever.

    Robin, you're probably right. Thick enough for fog, but I get so used to it I can barely tell the difference! The blue tits don't seem to mind though!

    We seem to have a lot of fog here too lately though not as dense as yours.

    Wonderful shots of the birds too! Very sweet, the upside-down one at the end!

    Lois, I'm getting tired of the mist and fog. That's just about all I've seen for the past few days!
