The last day of April, 2023, brings a change in the Picture Parades.
My son, Alex, is a very keen photographer and has taken many beautiful photos of birds. He wants to build his following especially on Instagram (that is a link to Alex’s page) and I was very willing to assist him in his endeavour.
So starting today I will be posting the photographs taken by Alex and repeating this every other Sunday. In other words, I shall now be alternating between birds and dogs for as long as is possible.
But first of all here is Alex’s QR code.

Alex uses an Olympus camera, an OM-1, and his lens is an Olympus M zuiko 150-400TC pro. A feature of the camera is the continuous shooting rate of 130 frames per second that Alex uses to good effect; as you can see.
So if you are interested in photography, please go across to this Instagram link and revel in the wonderful pictures featuring wildlife from the UK🇬🇧, mainly in the counties of Somerset, Gloucestershire and Bristol.
Next Sunday we are back to dogs!
Learning from Dogs 
I do like dogs, but I have to admit that I like birds more, so I applaud this move, Paul 🙂
Unfortunately, I cannot follow your son’s Instagram. I did have an account there once, but I deleted it once I discovered that it was owned by the moneygrubbing privacy-abusing Big Tech corporation formerly known (by me) as faecesbook.

Thank you, Colin. I, too, no longer subscribe to FB but I have agreed to follow Alex, of course. Still you will see Alex’s photos of birds that I will be sharing every two weeks from today.

It’s always a treat to see a barn owl hunting.
A sight I have seen only a couple of times in my entire life.
They are such beautiful creatures.
I once volunteered to let one fly over my head at a hawk show. All the other volunteers were about ten years old, but it was a wonderful experience to hear… absolutely nothing, as the bird flew over.

Jackie, I am so pleased that you enjoyed these beautiful photographs taken by Alex. And what an experience that you had with that owl flying overhead, with no sound whatsoever. Perfect!

Strictly speaking, these are Alex’s photographs and Alex should take the credit. However, these are great images! Thank you!
