At Last!

Saturday 8 December 2012

Finally found a Water Rail at Ewelme - of course it could have been around for ages and in hiding! Also a small party of Waxwings in Benson, though what they are finding to eat I cannot imagine as the winter thrushes have just about cleared all the berries. In the same area, behind the Meer development a couple of Reed Buntings.

Ever wondered what happens to snails when the floods arrive?

Not a lot of note recently but a male Blackcap this morning livened up the cornflakes.

Birds find garden

Coal Tit and Goldcrest in the garden counts as a red letter day here!

As promised

Sit down with a cup of coffee and spend 10 minutes seeing how many species you can identify.

New 2012 bird for watercress beds

Thursday 1 November 2012
Doesn't take much to excite me these days - a small group of Linnets feeding on willowherb seeds can do it! Nice to see Coal Tits, one on each of the two feeders today.

Still lots of activity on the night camera - I will try to upload a composite in the next day or so.
