Blashford Lakes again

It was very cold at the lakes, but plenty of activity around the feeders.
I like this little coal tit

and a puffed up finch

Here a Siskin is feeding, Blashford attracts large numbers , but this is the first time I have seen one on the feeders.

and finally a Chaffinch

Bird watching at the Woodland Hide Blashford lakes

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.
