Took these scarecrow pictures at Tatton Park in Cheshire.......can't make my mind up which one I like the best

**Chocky** · 12-07-2009

I like the third one.
Don't see them so much now

They've really put some effort into them!

**rolf** · 14-07-2009

Yes they certainly have, will keep my eyes open for scarecrows from now on.

**Chocky** · 14-07-2009

Yes if we get enough you could make it sticky

**Chocky** · 22-08-2009

Here is a nice one. He had a giant doll last week I thought it was a joke so ditched it. But I see now they really are scarecrows

**Babs** · 22-08-2009

That is brilliant Beryl, well spotted.................I haven't seen any since suspect they are few and far between

**Chocky** · 22-08-2009

Thanks Babs.

I'll have a look each time I go by and see what he puts up next

**rolf** · 22-08-2009

That's a cracker Beryl, he's stolen my stomach.

**Chocky** · 22-08-2009

Thanks Rolf.

I said I wandered where it had gone

**Chocky** · 23-08-2009

The allotment next door.
The other day I thought this was a joke but it seams all the allotments are competing.
Here is another . This is in the first allotment as I cross the railway track to the estuary
Look closely at his scarf

**Babs** · 23-08-2009

that is brilliant Beryl, I bet they have great fun making these scarecrows

**Chocky** · 23-08-2009

Lol. Thanks Babs

Think I'll make one

***Catherine*** · 23-08-2009

Love all those scarecrows!

Some towns/villages now have competitions for the best one.

West Kilbride (Ayrshire) has one every year! West Kilbride Scarecrow Festival 2009: Get Ready! - s1West Kilbride

The first scarecrow here was at Osborne House, IoW, at the beginning of this month. The two together were at Furzey Gardens (near Lyndhurst, New Forest) last summer.

Love the last two Catherine

. They are all lovely

**rolf** · 24-08-2009

These are great, I can see this developing.

**Chocky** · 18-11-2009

Found this one yesterday. Couldn't get to the front a it is by the railway track.
I think it's a flying insect

December 19th
Managed to gat a front view today

***Catherine*** · 18-11-2009

AW......., it's a Butterfly, Beryl!

Well spotted!

**Chocky** · 18-11-2009

Thanks Catherine.

I thought it was a butterfly. Just caught the back of it. I went along a little wooded area to get a better shot. Slipped on a roof tile covered in leaves . went straight down.........Ouch. Still I didn't damage my camera or lens
I think they're lovely they are in the allotments by the railway track there is another but it's not accessible, it is way down the track and you can only see it from the train .If I travel on the train I'll try and capture it but with a free bus pass a train ride is highly improbable;
