I quick post before I bolt…

I got about 5 minutes, so this has to be quick. I headed to a new spot this morning that Anne told me about, and it really paid off. Here’s a pheasant with a pair of his chicks. The hen and a couple other chicks where there too, but this was the nicest grouping.

Here’s a whole family of Egyptian geese just taking it easy on a tiny pond.

Here’s a chaffinch enjoying a quiet moment in some morning sun.

Finally, here’s a wren taking a dust bath as best it can in a country mostly below sea level.

I have several other pictures, including a new butterfly, but that’s gonna take some time to identify, and Anne’s waiting for me to wrap this up so we can get on the road to Brielle, where she’s planned a little weekend getaway for us.
