Thank you Jaap.

Oh qu'il est mignon sur son petit perchoir en pleine nature, trois belle images de nos forêts que l'on adore !
Bon mardi Rosa.

Thank you very much dear Jocelyne.
Happy Tuesday.

Das ist schön liebe Rosa,das du gestern auf deiner Runde auch solch schöne Erlebnisse gehabt!Bei deinen schönen Aufnahmen sieht man,dass deine Runde sehr schön war:))

Wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much for your kind comments Günter. The forests around the formal gardens are full of wildlife, if lucky enough to catch them, which I was this time. I did just miss a deer though ;-)) All the best, Rosa.

Superbes images ! Le faisan est très beau.
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you Madeleine. I only just caught the pheasant!
Happy Tuesday.
Regards.

Love the pheasant!!

Thank you very much Stephan.

Thank you for this beautiful spring report!!!!!!!
Have a nice tuesday afternoon*****

You are very welcome Nouchet, and I thank you for your kind comments.
Happy Tuesday and enjoy the rest of your week.

Such a wonderful shot of the Robin...........perfectly posed with spot on focus and feather detail. I love the vibrant red and green colours.

Both PiPs are gorgeous.............the Pheasant is beautifully coloured and stands out very well against it's surroundings.

I love the Snake's Head Fritillary too. These are lovely specimens and you've captured them beautifully.

Top notch photos Rosa!

I only just managed to catch the robin and the pheasant Keith. The fritillary was much easier, and not even a wind to blow them about ;-))

Thank you for your kind comments and hope you are having a good Tuesday.

I am indeed............went out before the rain and got shots of bluebells, oilseed rape and a butterfly!!

Well done Keith. I'll look forward to seeing them. It's just started raining here now!

jolis tout plein les petits amis de la nature

Thank you Annick.
Good evening.

Beautiful capture.

Thank you very much John.

A beautiful little Collection of nice pictures, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

geweldige scene Rosalyn

Thank you very much Fred.

Always good to see such wild life Rosa. Our robin was in the garden this morning. Here is a little story you may be interested in: Since Sunday we have had a male blackbird build a nest over the one conservatory downspout (silly bird). After a night of light rain (Monday morning), the whole gutter was flooding with the water having nowhere to go (this would surely drown any new hatchlings). So I moved the nest away trying to discouraged the bird. Unfortunately a few hours later it was back sitting in the bare gutter where the nest had been. I thought at first it was the female laying its eggs but no.... so I later replaced the nest next-door to the actual down drainpipe where at least it will not dam the gutters and would be somewhat dryer. A few hours ago, the bird was back sitting in its nest again -no doubt trying to attract a female to it.

Such is life! - On the edge. Herb

Yes it is Herb. There always seems to be a robin to greet the visitors at Stourhead.
Well, that is amazing! After all your efforts, let's hope the blackbird does attract a female ;-))
You went the extra mile Herb!

Good evening, Rosa.

The female is now siting in the nest Rosa! I made a wood divider to act as a dam in case the waters come again but a few mins ago found my effort tossed into the garden some 4 yards away! She must not have liked that there :)

Herb

Oh very pleased to hear the nest is now occupied Herb. You just can't please some birds ;-)) Well done though, and let's hope the weather continues to be good.

de très belles prise et série mon amie Rosa *****************bisous et bonne soirée mon amie

I am pleased you like them dear Angelique, thank you.
Wishing you a good evening also....bisous my friend *****

des photos magnifiques !*/********************
belle semaine Rosa ! bisous♫

Thank you dear Valeriane.
Have a good day.
Bisous ♫♫

A lovely collection Rosalyn I think robins sit waiting for a human to appear in case it means food, I like your description of the snakes heads being in the wilder part of the garden I think that sums mine up !! I have two in the pond I didn't put them there. Have you seen any pheasants with different markings I saw some silvery grey ones I asked a birder he said there are getting a few variations about

Thank you Peter. This robin was very busy gathering nest materials. My late niece once kept exotic birds and had a silver and a golden pheasant. They are very beautiful. Maybe the one you saw had escaped! I haven't ever seen one in the wild.

I love the pose of this wee robin, Rosa. Quite gallus! Cheers, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. Robins in particular are very gallus.
Cheers, Rosa.

Wonderful series! Stay well!

Thank you very much Patrick.
Good day.

A beautiful set of images, Rosa.

Thank you George.

most beautiful capture

Thank you Annemarie.

Again the colours of pure nature.
They can fly or make us dream, in both ways they are friends of of new joys.
Lovely.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Jose.

I am surprised and delighted by this side of your talent, Rosa. The robin and its bokeh are delightful, while the pheasant in its natural element is more than real. The snake heads are not to be outdone. A trio spontaneously and very nicely captured, adding to your eclectic bestiary and herbarium.
I wish you another day of authenticity. Nature has so many resources in the face of our confusion...

Thank you so much for your very generous comments Eric. The pheasant was chasing off another male! I tried to get them both in the picture, but he made a quick getaway ;-)
Have a good and sunny day my friend.

Thanks for sharing with us your beautiful finds during your Easter walk, Rosalyn.

My pleasure Christa. Thank you for your kind comments.

Un paradis pascal très agréable à voir !

Thank you very much Leopold.

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very exciting composition
Fantastic red colours too
I have a robin around my garden, but sadly no sign of a pair of blue tits this year. They seemed to like the house, but I haven't seen them for weeks.
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
Peter
PS, sorry for lack of contact recently, I’ve been away!

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your kind comments and I am pleased that you like this series.
We have also noticed the lack of blue tits in the garden. I wonder where they all are!!
Don't worry about any lack of contact Peter. I hope you are enjoying your time away.
Best wishes & take care,
Rosa.

Really a beautiful springtime serie.

Thank you very much Percy.

Precioso faisán macho con magnífico colorido, también el robín está muy bien, se le ven los ojos con mucha nitidez y el fondo desenfocado y viéndose su querencia.

Thank you for your kind comments Jose Manuel.

adorable capture and lovely series !

Thank you very much Nora.

Gorgeous photos (all three). I love color and looking at your photos gives me so much pleasure.
