In the absence of anything exciting to post from today, here a re a few shots from earlier in the week that were put to one side as a result of yesterday's fox special.
Going back to the Blackbird post, here are some of the other birds that were mentioned but not shown. The personal highlight were the yellowhammers, my first of the year for this highly distinctive field bird.
Several robins were darting around as well, including this one which posed briefly in a shaft of weak sunlight.
The moorhen is included for the pose/setting.
As is this mallard male.
Those were all taken at lunchtime on Thursday. Just a couple of shots from earlier in the same day. There's a small group of greylags that are permanent residents at the pond, but on Thursday morning a sizeable flock had landed on the water. They were gone by lunchtime, but I expect some of them to return over the coming weeks. 
No foxes tonight, but the recent shots will no doubt find a place on my fox of the day page over the coming week or so.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

27 Jan 2012Excellent set … the moorhen is pure comic relief, and it's a lovely intimate look at the mallard.

27 Jan 2012dW, thanks. The mallard was lurking under some trees with just enough sunlight getting through to make it interesting.
