Little Birds


Not much to say about todays post; we built a bird feeder outside the front of the house last year, and it's been visited by flocks of fledglings a couple of times this summer.



It's nice to be able to get some pics of the wildlife- the only shame is that every second house on the street seems to own at least one cat, so we're constantly having to chase cats off the birdfeeder.


Also nice, during lockdowns, to be able to get wildlife photographs from the comfort of the front room; I know it's not very Autumnwatch doing wildlife shots whilst sat next to a radiator, and within 12 feet of a constant supply of cups of tea, but it does beat sitting in a camouflaged tent in a forest for days waiting to photograph something.


A surprise visitor a little later in the summer; a nut-hatch.  Only seen these before whilst we've been in Wales.



Nut-hatch back again a little while later.  It's still visiting us as I type this (November).
