FredG Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I was out in the field today checking on a Dactylorhiza site. It's still a bit early for the best show but I did find a healthy grouping of Ophrys apifera. The thing is, you get down there to take the photos and the spectators arrive. They stand there talking among themselves and at times get a little insistent. I turned the camera on them today as I stood up so here they are Several times I've lifted my head to come eyeball to eyeball with a swan. They're BIG aren't they Edited June 2, 2014 by FredG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredG Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Correct, Swans are far bigger than these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Swans are big - but these are Canada Geese Yeah, 'cause they know where Canada is. I have always wondered why they have such a stupid name... As though they are "from Canada" not North America... We've even had people pass laws for killing "Canadian Geese" as they "are not a native species". Even though they are native. Dumb Names plus Dumb People = more problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
