These
are 2 shots of Quarr Abbey.
The first one is taken at a distance and the second
is shot when I arrived there.
I hope you enjoyed these few shots of the birds I saw along
my walk to Quarr Abbey.
Thank you for visiting and also to those who leave

Hi Margaret, Grant and I read your blog post together and we laughed at: "while others were delivering presents, I took a walk to Quar Abbey and these are the birds I photographed:" ! That's a true birder. We'll finish Christmas lunch on Thursday, come home with my dishes, left over food, pack it away and I'll change into shorts. Then we'll be off to see what birds are out and about on Christmas afternoon! I published my post in error today, (me and the days, these days, LOL) and placed it on schedule. Have a wonderful, blessed Christmas. Greetings from Jo and Grant (Tanzania)
ReplyDeleteHi Jo. You say. 'When we come back home on Christmas day' where do you have lunch that day? Glad I gave you both a laugh. if ever I manage to visit you, I can see we will be up and out early birding until we all drop!!!! But what better way to spend fun hours than in God's nature.
DeleteThe Abbey is magnificent Margaret and I thoroughly enjoyed your birds today. Merry Christmas and A Very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletea lovely bunch! i love the carrion crow shot!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful captures!
ReplyDeleteYour robins look so different than ours, even their beaks. Do they run around on the ground picking up worms, like ours do?
