Think this was the title of a film starring Cliff Richard way back in the sixties ?? ... My young ones have been seen recently whilst out and about with the camera. It has been very quiet with most birds having now reared their young and everything has been lying low in the very warm weather we have been having during June.
I was very pleased to find an oystercatcher with chicks on a recent drive through Bowland. The birds were very close to the road and I was able to get some decent shots before the birds vanished into the grass and rushes. The young redstart was also seen in Bowland in the Tarnbrook area waiting to be fed by nearby parents. The grouse and curlew chicks were seen when I visited Teesdale recently as mentioned in my previous posting and I have shown the curlew image again as it is one of my favourites of the year. Hope my followers enjoy looking at the images and lets hope the youngsters survive to breed themselves in years to come. From the top the images show my favourite curlew shot followed by three images of the oystercatchers and the final two being red grouse and redstart chicks
the young ones was a song in the film summer holidays. but you have better photos of the young ones.
ReplyDeleteAgain some lovely images Brian.Looks like the breeding season is nearly over for this year,doesn`t time fly!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice idea for a post Brian but who is Cliff Richard?
ReplyDeleteCracking set of shots Brian. Not often we get to see the youngsters so clearly.
ReplyDeleteYes, an excellent title with equally excellent photography of these youngsters....a delight to look at Brian.
ReplyDeleteOh and yes, I forgot....to echo Phil 'who is Cliff Richard' don't think I'm old enough for this one!
ReplyDeleteAwww don't you just love 'em!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. It's nice to see photos of birds and wildlife that we don't have in our area of the world.
