What a difference a week makes.

Sunday again but what a different day to this time last week.


I never managed to get out today so instead i'll post a few of the birds I shot yesterday.

Great Spotted Woodpecker. This was one of three that were drumming away madly at Beechenhurst by the Cafe.

Nuthatch. One of many that visit the arboretum .



Jay. There were three making visits to the feeder table at Beehenhurst.

Carrion Crow. In the trees at Beechenhurst, It also visited the feeder table.



Blue Tit, again at the Arboretum.



Bramblings. 2 visiting the Arboretum together.



It is easy to forget that winter is supposed to be a time of cold miserable weather when you have days that produce as much as yesteday did for me. There were others, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Mandarin duck at both Cannop and Mallards Pike, and a Heron and Goosander at Woor Green. No sign of crossbill at New Fancy although I see from Gloster Birder web site that there were some seen. (see my links).
