A few more images from my recent visit to Farlington Marshes incorporating the fences and some of the flying species that occupy this landscape. Linking to Good Fences hosted by TexWisGirl.
Miles of barbed wire fencing erected to segregate the different habitats around this reserve also helps to contain cattle used to manage the grazing areas and to deter us two legged beings from trespassing.

My view over the reed bed where most of the in-flight shots were taken. FAB.

ReplyDeleteeen prachtig natuurgebied.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the gull looking for a place to land :)
ReplyDeleteLove the barbed wire fencing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Frank! The geese in flight is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the meadow pipit.
ReplyDeleteFarlington Marshes are great birding spot. Love the flight of geese and lovely light shots of the Meadow Pipit on fence.
ReplyDeleteFences and flyers are great shots, but the capture of the Meadow Pipet is my favourite. It makes one wonder how birds manage to alight on the barbs which look seriously spikey.
ReplyDeleteNow this is why I so need a better camera!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great habitat for the birds and wildlife.. Awesome shots of the birds in flight and the Pipit is a handsome bird..Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe birds look happy there, even sitting on a barbed-wire fence! ;)
ReplyDeleteahhh...wonderful shots...I particularly loved the shot down the wire with the sparrow. That's making the spectacular out of the common. Kudos
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful landscape!
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's fenced in ;)
Have a fine day

Beautiful landscape and good fences. I enjoyed all.
ReplyDeleteCertainly is a different kind of wire. don't think I've ever see it before. Gorgeous photos of not only the marsh land and fences, but of the water fowl as well....
ReplyDeleteenjoy a wonderful day...
I bet at least the birds enjoy having the fences to land on. Although they must be very good and landing to avoid the barbed wire! Nice photos. Thanks for the visit Frank...Janey
ReplyDeleteWonderfull view and shots birds,greeting from Belgium.

What a wonderful area to observe the birds. I really liked the shot of the bird sitting on the barbed wire fencing.
ReplyDeleteSome good navigation skills and landing gear those birds got! :)
ReplyDeleteThe fence and the general area surrounded by the fence are beautiful.
When I first looked at the Dark Bellied Geese, I couldn't tell which side the beak was :)
Nice one!
Have a Beautiful Day!!
Peace :)
They wouldn't have to worry about me trying to climb over or under that fencing- that's some tough looking barbed wire! Nice shots, Frank!
ReplyDeleteNice photos, FAB! The in-flights are really nice shots!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery...such a lovely area! Love the bird shots too.
