    Nice!! it was an amazing sky this evening. I like your other sunset pics too especially the reflections ones and the one with the backlit grasses.

    Brilliant pictures Wharfee, that 'gold bars of dusk' shot is an absolute belter, also like your pics of the birds congregating on the wires.
    As for my own wildlife encounter today, a huge wood wasp buzzing slowly round me as I painted a door, scary looking critter but harmless. Had to shoo it away from the wet gloss, as I remembered seeing one 'bout 18 years ago stuck flat on its back on a threshold I'd just painted, with its wings stuck down perfectly like a specimen.

    It's not a rhino it's a dragon.

    I just accidentally disturbed a massive amount of wagtails roosting in some small trees. I've never noticed them in big flocks before - are they preparing to bugger off somewhere warm?

    Cool, bet that was a great site roughly how many were there? they won't be going anywhere warm, may be just having a big party or something!!!!

    It's normal for Pied Wags to roost in large numbers...see image... http://www.flickr.com/photos/ankehuber/4233742741/
    Some will migrate as far south as France but most stay put.
