Birds, a bee, a tree and a fern

Over the past two weeks we've been in Pembrokeshire, Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, Kent and Cornwall (of course). Lots of photographs taken and a few of them are destined to become part of my regular screen-saver rota.

Just a robin taken in our garden. Unusually it's in focus despite being taken through a double-glazed window.

Another in-focus robin that went bob,bob bobbing by - in the grounds of Grosmont Castle in Monmouthshire.

A solitary turnstone at the northern end of New Gale beach near St David's.



I have been trying for ages to get a decent photograph of a buzzard and, lo and behold, here's one above our garden.



A black swan at Leeds Castle, Kent.

A rather late in the season female red-tailed bumble bee in the herb garden at Leeds Castle.

 A rather splendid oak tree near Goodrich Castle on the Wales/England border.

Part of a fern frond glistening in the sun somewhere unknown.
