Short Wildlife Post

This Juvinile Mute swan was the same one that i followed yesterday and 

its staying on the canal , Flash and snow are now back together and hopefully in the next few 

days will start nesting.

 I saw this Female Blackbird Perched in a tree to my right and it was on the 

canal path searching for  mud to start building her nest , which seems 

very early to be starting.

I also found this Dead Fox in the canal floating around 

 A photo of a female blackbird looking right at me , when i took the 

photo of her.

A Kingfisher perched on a branch , on the river down by a bridge , but because 

the river but because the river was really high it went on the canal instead.

Blackbird sat in a nest , it seems really early for them to starting nesting but all the birds 

were calling and very active.

A Grey Squirral sat in a tree looking down at me , because I placed 

my bag on the ground and it wonded what I had.

A Nuthatch in a tree , looking for some inesects that are in the 

cracks of the tree with a blue background.

 Also on the same on the same tree I spotted this Camoflaged on the 

bark of the tree.

My Mute Swan Called Snow Powering through the water and also through the stong 

winds on my local canal. Flash the male mute swan has gone to feed somewhere else where there is plenty 

of food but will be back in the next few days.
