Barnes 2

I’ve got all behind with everything again.

Spent Monday updating the important people at work about what is happening; not a lot really, all progress seems to have come to a stop. The local 'specialist' has now referred me back to Oxford. I feel like a lump of meat in a game of pass the parcel.

And I stopped for a chat with some work colleagues too.

Yesterday I went swimming, then a quick stroll round the local, and the afternoon……can’t remember  lol  and then the evening I went to watch a ‘presentation’ at the local Natural History Society, about one of our local lakes, Willen.

It was quite interesting, especially as they used one of my pictures in the talk. (I hadn’t mentioned I was going; just went out of curiosity, and no-one knew I was the ‘author’ of the picture  lol)

I seem to be taking too many pictures these days, and not sorting them out quick enough; and getting behind with catching up on blogs.

I used to be so organised once.

Anyway, here’s a few more pictures from the great day I spent at Barnes, with fellow blogger Tricia. These are all from the ‘collection areas’

A couple of sleeping Eider Ducks

Can’t remember the name of these.
Update!! 
Ok, now thanks to Roy, Bob and Chris......these are Eurasian Wigeon.
Why couldn't I see that?  lol 

Mr. And Mrs. Hooded Merganser.  I love these ducks.

Another one I don’t know; but he looks like he ate all the pies!
Update!!
Thanks Bob, it's a Puna Teal

Rosybill, and partner, I believre.

White-faced Whistling Duck

 Egyptian Goose

Ringed Teal

Not sure. I guess some sort of Teal?

Thanks again Bob ......you are The Man!! These are Chiloe Wigeon 

Ne-ne or Hawaiian Goose

And I’ll finish with the biggest Dragonfly I’ve ever seen,

Imagine one of those flying around!

Enjoy the rest of the week.
