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.

Nutty Nuthatches

Had another hour at the feeders today, the Nuthatch performed really well.

Woodland Birds

Got out early this morning to see what was at the feeding station

I put out some cherry blossom and this Blue Tit landed and started to sing

the Nuthatch were keen to show off their skills

and I heard a new sound in the woods, it was this male Blackcap, my first summer visitor.

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 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 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.

Early Start

Went out early today and found a new Barn Owl which which sat on this post
and let me get really close.

and finally the sun rose and I got a few shots of this Barn Owl in good light

On the way back I had a quick look at the feeders and this Robin showed well

as did this Nuthatch

a couple of Song Thrush were feeding in the grounds which is excellent,
hopefully get some good ones of these soon.
