Left-over Skeletons
Since the weather has changed it’s more fun to go to the fields in the plain again. The sun is out but temperatures have dropped and the wind on the bike is really nippy.
These are not left-over from Halloween but from the fruit growing season. The plastic covers have already been rolled up and will be stored for next year, the tubing will be dissassembled soon and also put in a barn.

Not All Pugs Are Like This
Winter Is Coming
Good Weather, Bad Photos



We do have quite a few grey herons living in the area and a lots more storks (now all gone for the winter). And for a few days in autumn there are a few great egrets stopping over on their migratory route. And I spotted one yesterday! Both those birds didn’t let me get close and I just managed to get a blurred photo of the grey taking off. I am always in awe about their wingspan, so I am including this last shot as well.

Hoverfly

It looks like a dangerous insect. Yet, the black and yellow stripes are only a disguise. But the really typical feature of this syrphus fly (that the American name) is it’s capability to hover in the air, hence the British name.
But although they are quite common and although they look like they are still in the air – I haven’t photographed one hovering yet.
