I have some more items for the lovely scavenger hunt to share with you. the winter Scavenger Hunt is organised by Joy and Eileen.
I have one item yet to find.
Item 1 A robin. At last, thanks to the purchase of some mealworms I managed to catch him.
Item 7 Berries and/or nuts. I took this back in December. Its the Rowan in my front garden.
Item 8 A wreath. When we were in Greenwich in December a wreath was on my list of items to look out for. This was my favourite one.
Item 9 A tree that has lost all its leaves It’s lovely to be reminded, looking at this picture, of the fabulous autumn we had.
Item 12 A fancy button. I spent a pleasant half hour rooting through my button box but couldn’t find what I was looking for. Lotta said these were all fancy!
Item 16 A chimney. I spent days looking for ‘the perfect chimney’ for the hunt. It caused an enormous amount of huffing from the hubs. “what’s wrong with that one?, or that one?, or that one?’ he kept saying. I ignored him and choose these as soon as I saw them. I liked these because I didn’t notice them at first! I mean how could I not? They are so tall and belong to the Greenwich power station. You can also see the O2 arena, tall cranes and buildings. The whole thing just appealed to me.
Thanks to Eileen & Joy for doing a great job again.
I bought some meal worms (don’t they stink?!) . The robin ignored them and the starlings make a daily visit to scoff them. My brother feeds them to his hens. I think our egg profit margin would be negligible if we bought enough for all our hens! Great finds Miriam.
I agree with Lotta – a lovely showing of fancy buttons. Using bribery with mealworms to get your images !!! I must get back to the list
You really excel on capturing birds! It’s not something I manage to do except along the beach in Florida. Great finds for the scavenger hunt. I’m posting my last few (although I’m still hoping for a better robin photo) on Wednesday with SNAP.
Wonderful Robin capture! Lots of fun buttons. You have done so well with the WPSH.
Great finds, Miriam, and I love the fact that you bribed your robin!
Happy day to you, my friend. xo.
Your robins look so much different than the ones we have here. Great shot!
Love seeing your scavenger hunt photos! My favourite is – as you can probably guess – that lovely little robin.
