Noisy Woodland

The day started as usual with the small birds coming to feed...

The Nuthatch were putting on a good show...

as were the Blue Tit...

and then there was a massive commotion, this Tawny Owl turned up and every bird was going wild mobbing the poor old Owl

then everything calmed down and the birds got back to feeding

and a Song Thrush was busy collecting worms for they're young.

Feeding Station

Had a great day at my mate Dave's feeding station...

...the Great Spotted Woodpecker performed really well

as did this really well marked Nuthatch

even the male woody put in an appearance

a few Jays were hanging about

with this Chaffinch singing nearly all day

i love when the Nuthatch pose like this

and plenty of Great Tit that won me a bet I had with Dave

Blue Tits always make a good picture

and a single Marsh Tit showed well

a really great day, cheers Dave

Woodland Birds

Spent a few hours at the feeding station again today

The Great Tits kept coming in...

As did two Nuthatch, really hard to tell the difference

The Robins were very active collecting food on the floor and perching on this tree.

Woodland update

I had a quick look at my feeding station again today all the usual species where there but I noticed that the Long Tailed Tits are nest building close by. Seems very early, maybe it's all this great weather we've been having.

This Long Tailed Tit is one of a pair that is nesting

This Great Tit was standing proud.

The Chaffinch's feed on the ground rather than on the feeders.

These little characters always pose well

And finally the Nuthatch were chasing each other about, would be nice to get them both together.
