We went back to Blashford lakes today and spent quite a bit of time in the woodland hide. Plenty to see and the Bluetits were certainly around flitting to and from the feeders.
This young fluffed out green finch posed for about 15 minutes before eventually flying off
Back views of a Great tit and a goldfinch on the feeder.
A pair of great Spotted Woodpeckers were also around for a time, had to take this photo through the glass as they mainly went to a feeder where the windows didn't open.
A chaffinch watches the feeders deciding whether or not to have a snack.I like this hide as there is a great variety of birds visiting the feeders we also saw siskin, jays and a nuthatch. Rabbits , squirrels and a pheasant were snatching up the fallen seed from the ground.
Every now and then i snoop around other peoples links.I always find an interesting one.
ReplyDeleteNice blog,been to your neck of the woods a few times and it's a superb place to live.
Beautiful photos Mary.
ReplyDeleteI made you "blog of the week" over at The House in the Woods today :-)
great pictures and thank you for sharing. I do not have the possibility to see some of the birds captured by you. It is very interesting to watch them close and a real difficulty to take pictures :) they always fly away before I manage to do it :)

What a fabulous collection of birds! Great pics and a good hunt!
