This time I had been crouched down for a while not too far from the bush and it visited several times. Maybe the woodland camouflage cap I was wearing fooled it ;)Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-18579711617782474142010-02-24T20:30:57.537+00:002010-02-24T20:30:57.537+00:00Thank you Linda.

I find recognition of bird song very hard to get to hold in my remaining grey cell. Every time I think I've learned one I have forgotten it a week later.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-45170492974664153982010-02-24T20:26:29.066+00:002010-02-24T20:26:29.066+00:00Thank you Keith.

Nearly reached 8C today but with all the damp it is now foggy. The forecast did mention up to 50cm of snow for some areas of Scotland. Not near you I hope.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-67655636285284237572010-02-24T20:22:25.044+00:002010-02-24T20:22:25.044+00:00Hello Adrian.

I really need to get to grips with bird songs/calls, at least then I would know what was around even if they are not showing themselves. I must dig out the CDs I have somewhere.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-60561079346816683952010-02-24T13:56:54.484+00:002010-02-24T13:56:54.484+00:00Lovely shots John.
