The mistle thrush nest I discovered 3 weeks ago has chicks and this one, at least I think its a chick, is considerably larger and more bold than the other two. I think its nearly ready to leave? But am I mistaken and its actually the adult sitting tight? I realise there are some whispy patches of downy feathers on its head but could they have just come from the other chicks and stuck on? Chick or adult?Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07514290730989336437noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649502890008838885.post-10045773171206181992014-04-27T22:18:00.003+01:002014-04-27T22:18:59.945+01:00Black Tern Eccleston MereHere's my two-penneth worth...<br />

This evening was very reminiscent of when the American Black Tern was at the Mere - nice sunny evening, mandarin ducks, lots of birders, and being desperately unable to get decent photos!</div>

I know its not got feathers but does anyone know what this is? Found on Billinge hill last Thursday, I think its some kind of beetle. It was about 1" in length and 1/2" width, iridescent blue/black and with antennae that resembled beads on a string. I don't have a macro lens so it was the best I could do.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07514290730989336437noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649502890008838885.post-58617001917611335002014-03-31T20:56:00.002+01:002014-03-31T20:56:43.739+01:00short eared owl<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
