Photographs of some of the birds at our two feeding stations
Blue tits: Doing what they do well. Even with one leg.
Long Tailed Tits. Great small birds.
I do like Dunnock's. I know they are just a small brown job but good light brings out great detail in the subtle colour of their feathers.
Chaffinches are looking quite colourful at the moment, even the females
Jays are not coming down as regular as they were. Look out for one with a possible broken leg.
Everyone loves Goldfinches.
These Nutatches have been the stars of the show since September. Let's hope they have a good breeding season.
Robins are always photogenic.
It's only a Black bird but I still love to see the male Blackbird. That yellow eye-ring is special.
Bullfinches. Declining in some areas but still going strong on the reserve.

THANK YOU!
A big thank you to Calderdale Small Grants for funding our banners and our business cards - along with a whole lot of other things to help everyone enjoy visiting Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve.
I had to check one out for size on our garden shed..... Do you think its big enough? [the banner, not the shed!]
Spring is here!
Please pick up some cards from the cabin and help to spread the word about Cromwell Bottom around your family and friends.

A Different View of One of the Regulars
Last weekend one of our Twitter followers and regular visitors set up a remote camera in the feeding station to try and get some different angles on the Jays. Here's one of Andy Swindens shots he kindly let me borrow for the blog. You don't usually see them from this perspective. Thanks Andy
