Little Red...

Click Image for Larger PictureIt seems the 'Roswell Robins' are on form at the moment; I must have seen 5 today, and heard many more! With the trees changing colour and dropping their leaves, these handsome birds just add to the confirmation that autumn is here. By happy coincidence the Robin Below was the first bird I saw when I got out of the car (on the fence at the entrance to the Environment Agency Building), and the one above was the last bird I saw when getting back in the car - It could be the same bird wanting to keep up its media profile.

Just after talking to a few friends of Roswell (they saw me hiding in the bushes with my camera!), they asked if I had any good pictures / sightings. I replied that I had indeed seen the kingfisher today, but was not lucky enough to get a picture. Just a few minutes later I managed to get a some close ups of this youngster feeding on duckweed (Lemna Minor). It seems the swans are less camera shy than the Robins.
