Not Dancing on Ice.

During a recent local park visit there was very little unfrozen water so the hardy wildlife was to be found walking on the water. So a few shots of Mrs Mallard showing me her dainty steps across the rink.

With just a few days to go I would like to wish all the 'followers' of my new FABirding photo-blog and all other passers-by a very Happy Christmas and a wildlife full 2010.

Special thanks to a friend and talented artist Kelly for producing this delightful watercolour of Robin Readbreast from my original photo....you are a 'star'.    FAB

Its Snowing!

The forecated snow arrived during a walk in Richmond Park today but these fellows were totally unfazed by the change in conditions or the attention of a 'watcher'.

More images have been posted on my Early Birder blog soon.  FAB
