Blackbird (Turdus Merula)

Two blackbirds on a wall.

Blue Tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)

Two blue tits come to the bird feeder.

Bullfinch (Pyrrhula Pyrrhula)

Can you spot two pairs of bullfinches.

Greater Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos Major)

This greater spotted woodpecker was industriously looking for insects on this fallen tree.

This grey heron visits our pond quite regularly. It is quite shy and flies off whenever we approach. Here it flies off to a pool in a neighbouring field. Whenever we put a camera on the pond, it never comes!

Jay (Garrulus Glandarius)

This jay was on the bird feeder near the clearing.

Two jays mopping up the seed under the bird feeder.

This jay found bread on a wall..

Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos Caudatus)

This long-tailed tit preferred the fat balls.

Magpie (Pica Pica)

This magpie was trying hard to get the small birds food. It had to be content with just a few seeds!

A family of magpies soon polished off the bread and the cat food we had put on the wall.

Mallard (Anas Platyrhynchos)

I saw this pair fly in for the first time. They had a good feed on the weed, then they both had a good ‘wash and preen’ and then they had a sleep on the bank. They made themselves at home. It will be interesting to see if they take up residence.

These mallards seem to enjoy our pool.

Nuthatch (Sitta Europaea)

The nuthatch enjoys the birdfeeder but, it is wasteful of the seed!

Robin (Erithacus Rubecula)

We have seen lots of robins in the woodland. They are always around when you are digging.

Rook (Corvus Frugilegus)

These rooks are probably from the rookery in the next door field.

This rook found the bread on the wall.

The rooks found the turkey bits on the newly fallen tree.
