Seasonal Splash ~ RSPB Minsmere

Wintry Reflections

The devastating storm was the focus of my last Minsmere post, and I promised to post something more cheerful this time. We returned to the reserve a few days ago to find glorious winter sunshine and a glowing sunset. 

Sunset comes to the Reedbeds

Sunset glow

Deer ... and signs of mole!

A final glow

Swans again

Sunset 1

Sunset 2 (birds, but not the murmuration I read about ...)


Frost in the dells

Ice patterns on a leaf

Jay, looking for acorns

A rabbit turns tail

Who will get the acorns ... the Grey Squirrel or the Jay?

Lovely sunset shots! And the bird and bunny are wonderful! Your Jay is a handsome bird. The frost photos are pretty. Great post, enjoy your weekend.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

what a lovely series of photos! The light is wonderful! Congratulations particularly on capturing the jay, i find them very elusive birds!
