Woodland Birds 2

Had another few good hours at my feeding station today, quite busy all the time.

Always glad when a Treecreeper gets within my sights

The Long Tailed Tit were back

and so were the Coal Tit

The canopy is now covered in green plants which gives a nice blurred green

The Blue Tits were very active

and the Nuthatch performed well which I was really pleased about.

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.

Woodland Wonders Again

Had a few hours spare on Sunday so I thought i'd check out the feeding station. The sun was fine so I knew I had a good chance of some decent shots.

The Blue Tits showed well again

but the star of the show had to be this Nuthatch who posed really well

the classic Nuthatch pose, finally

and a Chaffinch showed for the first time.

and the Long Tailed Tits proved great subjects




the Coal Tits were as quick as ever

and this Great Tit posed nicely. The best day at this feeding station so far.

More Woodland Wonders

Went back to the feeders today to see their progress again plenty of activity

Coal Tits seemed to be very interested today...

...as was the Nuthatch who showed while there was still a little snow

and posed well on this branch.

The Long Tailed Tits showed well again .

and a Robin was interested in what was going on.

Wondland Wonders

I decided the only way to get really good woodland bird photos was to set up a small feeding station near to where I live. I put some feeders out the week before in a local wood and waited for a week to see what if anything it had attracted, I was pleasantly surprised.

Long Tailed Tits came in small bands to feed on the fat balls

Much to my delight a pair of Nuthatches where feeding on nuts and fat balls

Long Tailed Tits make a great photo

and the Blue Tits performed well

even a Great Spotted Woodpecker had a look
