The poppy is a herbaceous plant.. There is a field of them not far from my home. It is quite spectacular to watch! .

Well, what can I say… I just had a fabulous two days in my kingfisher hide.  Everytime I see a kingfisher I am in admiration. What a bird!!!  This male is extremely obliging. Yesterday it came about 30 times in front of me…  Beautiful bird. I am very lucky

Another recce. I was after hare in corn…but came a barn owl….

The barn owl was about 6/7 metres off the ground…on a dead tree…I was about 80 to 100 metres away and the bird did not seem to be worry.

500mm and 1.4
