WoW, nan,

you have a lot to see at your pond - Love the shots of the common snipe and the northern goshawk

Glorious stuff, nana!

Interesting heron behaviour!

Thought ducks ate plants?

Nasty-looking goshawk...

... it was so windy

Mel wrote:WOW, nan! Your pond provided well for you again

Those herons are vicious Not nice to dip the other one down the water

That goshawk sighting is marvellous And also the common snipe and the duck with the crayfish

I also like that mystic spider web photo. So autumn like $\O$

Gets me itching to work the camera again...

normely it's Egret that fight... it seems the Heron was in bad mood $0*\$ and the Egret is much bigger

the Duck (no name Duck... escaped one) give me lot of work... always have to have an eye on "she" (I name it "la canne") to see what she found

the web.... well the web, nice work, but

and the Goshawk $O\/$ only few minutes, but enough $O\/$

all

Goshawks are notoriously shy. Excellent pics you got of this one.

Great action sequences of the heron & egret. $O/\$

More please. $O\/$

you gave me chance, 2 nights ago

was a lot of small ducks, Little Grebes, Coots, Moohrens, Rails... all of them flew away in a noise $0*\$

and it stays only the time to watch if there is still something to catch

the Egret came again, not the Heron

happily the Snipe was already gone

and the Goshawk was really greedy for one of these little birds

ducks

sometime chicken, sometime porc... like all of us

NO ! seriously, me too I though they ate plants and maybe worms and what else

thank you Flutts and Liz

I saw one or twice this Sparrowhawk... far away... flying

first, when it landed on the tree, for 2 seconds I thought it's a Pigeon, was so small $0*\$

when I pressed on the button, I heard lot of wings noise, on my right side
