A few pics from my weekend...

So I dared to cross into the Southern lands (Suffolk) for a bit of bird ringing. Gorgeous place. Some piccies.

This was at night. It got to over 30 degrees while I was there and apparently they hadn't had rain for 6 weeks (except for a small shower once) :shock:

Looks like a nice weekend.

Re: A few pics from my weekend...

Good pics. Was it all as old as that?

Hope you were on the bike :)

Aw those Barn Owls are very cute!

Re: A few pics from my weekend...

And finally some beasties too

This bee was HUGE, with only one wing, think it was a Queen!

Yes that old! Everywhere creaked hehe.

And no I didn't go on the bike, would have been lovely but it was so hot there I think I would have overheated :shock: I went on the train...

Re: A few pics from my weekend...

When the one wing bee was flying could it only fly in circles?

Re: A few pics from my weekend...

That dragonfly is mahooosive!! :o Looks mental

That would scare the hell out of you if it flew past
