Just returned from Chester.Managed a day in Burton Mere. Got female hen and marsh harrier, with 300-400 lapwing. Mostly teal, black tailed godwit, greenshank, redshank and shoveler. Recommend this RSPB site, with new cosy visitor centre and proper hides. (no cafe though)
Garden feeders packed with young blue tits and great tits. Fun bit is watching them trying to land on water! Also noted was the reason why my peanuts disappear so quickly.:C
Mostly siskins, goldfinches, chaffinches, bull finches 2M&2F, and 2 redpoll. Wood pigeons and collared doves hovering up the spilt seed. Cats hovering up the wood pigeons (or trying to!)
Put out the turkey carcass and got 2 magpies, crows and a sparrowhawk visit the garden. No buzzard, yet. 7 blackbirds, 4 robins, 20 goldfinch and 6 long tail tits have been after scraps and seeds on the ground.
Congratulations Gary and Mike. The best wildlife photographers by far. I noticed your photos appeared on the competition poster!
BTW, any sign of Jedward today? (see photo)
EOS 30D & 100-400L. Not enough pixels to play with by today's standards. I haven't tweaked any of the shots yet. I was sitting on a bench and birds flew into the tree next to me and were eating the berries 5 metres away!
3 waxwings showing well this morning 9.00 to 10.15 in and around the area opposite the Leisure Centre, especially amongst the OAP housing to the North. They were chased of by jackdaws, crows and a sparrow hawk which spooked everything. They returned willingly, landing in trees above me! But...
Cheers Al ;-)
