More Birdwatching

On Tuesday and Wednesday we had a chance for some more birdwatching.
We walked the dogs at Cadmans Pond and naughty Mr Raffles found some bones, we put him on the lead for about a mile and then we let him off only to find he found a short cut through a bog back to the bones. I could not follow him and had to make a long detour . By this time he had dragged the bones back through the bog to Karen who was waiting with Missy and Taivas! Well I needed a rest when we got back to the car so we sat and watched the Nuthatches. They were very possessive of the seeds seeing the Robins and Tits off.
On Wednesday we went down to Eyeworth Pond. We saw three male and two female Mandarin Ducks , so hopefully they will nest and we will see some ducklings in a couple of months time. There were lots of Tits about but also a rather greedy crow who decided to gobble up all the food!
