No worries at all, I'm often behind with commenting and posting ;)<br /><br /><br /><i><b>Brad</b></i>,<br /><br />Welcome and thank you for visiting and also for your very kind comments. <br />I think the Peacock is one of our most beautiful butterflies, last year I hardly saw any but this year there seemed to be a lot.

Every year I hope to see one. I also love the Lapwing....<br />It gets dark so early now. These last days of Autumn are always so diffucult.

When you mentioned your Peacock Pansy I thought you were referring to the Pansy flower so was very pleasantly surprised, on looking it up, to discover yet another, lovely, 'foreign' butterfly...thank you for drawing my attention to it!<br />I agree, there is something fascinating about spider's webs, they are so intricate. <br />Have a lovely week, Kanak.<br /><br /><br />Liz,<br /><br />Thank you very much for your kind comments. I have never seen a Nuthatch in my garden and doubt I ever will, as apart from my own garden, there are just not enough mature native trees around any more :(<br />Yes, I was thrilled to see the Meadow Pipits, like you I may have seen them before but not realised what they were, I can see why you liken them to a Song Thrush but they are much smaller, about the size of a sparrow so if you saw a small flock darting up from the ground it would be easy, I think, to mistake them for sparrows.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-71713498954322411932009-11-09T11:36:07.059+00:002009-11-09T11:36:07.059+00:00oldcrow61

Wishing you (and Anita of course) all the best for your retirement.<br /><br /><br />Kelly,<br /><br />Thank you so much. I really hope to see another Nuthatch before too long and get better photos but I suspect at this time of the year that will mean wading through muddy woodland unless I am ever as lucky as you and have one visit the garden of course! <br />I agree completely that we have a lot to thank the early conservationists for but how sad that there are still, today, birds, and animals in general, being trapped or shot to satisfy man's selfish whim!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-85946084383530609152009-11-08T22:42:49.052+00:002009-11-08T22:42:49.052+00:00A lovely set of images.
