Telford trawl and a catch or two!!

Having spent the morning catching up on a few bits and pieces for the web site etc. I took a bit of a trawl around the Priorslee area just to see what was around, you know like Waxwing and or Iceland gull. Well after a longtime scanning the very large gull flock, containing Common, Lesser and Greater Black backed gulls, One Yellow Legged gull , Herring, Black headed and the Iceland gull. See above for to days picture taken through the freezing fog as the temperature continued to drop.

The trees around the Telford and Wrekin building near ASDA held a load of Blackbirds and a few Redwing but alas no Waxwing, as a Consolation prize the Treecreeper put in an excellent show as it searched for food in the cracks and crevices of the Birch.

Peering into every little indentation for a tasty! morsel or two.

This Redwing enjoying a brief spell in the sunshine and respite from the Missile thrush attacks.

Mother? and junior, with no stabilisers on flew out of the mist almost mimicking each other in flight.

Another two from the same party as they left for goodness knows where. The temperature continued to drop and it was cold enough to freeze the balls of a pawn brokers sign.

More in a couple of days perhaps

Cheers
