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 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.

A visit to Titchwell

Had a good day at Titchwell, Norfolk, a great place for bird sightings with common and rarer birds showing well.

Chaffinches where near the picnic area

and the Robins showed really well as usual

this Brambling was busy having a sing

and some Common Redpoll (above) and Siskin (below) made the day really special
