Thanks Linda Another local reserve that I found out about yesterday afternoon and I couldn’t wait to visit and only 20 mins from home in the car plus there is another two reserves close to this one. It is a reserve I shall visit again for sure as I only touched the surface of vast amount of land to explore.
Nice and local for you ILR, looks like plenty of variety. Great to get some photo's of the blue tit taking in food.
Thanks Snappy only 20 mins away from home and I have still a fair bit to discover yet plus there is another two reserves nearby that I have yet to see. I noticed the blue tit enter the nest box and thought like you do that it maybe feeding it’s chicks so I photographed them far enough away as not disturb them. Thanks for viewing Snappy.
Great photos ILR thank you for sharing them looks like you've had a successful trip glad you found somewhere new
Oooh, I must have missed this one whilst we were away ILR... super set... the bluey looks like he could do with the sustenance from that caterpillar!!
Great pictures especially love the Robins and blue tit's
