Cromwell Bottom Birds

I haven't posted images on the blog for quite some time.  Here's just a handful of the birds  that call Cromwell Bottom their home and are part of the impressive list of all that do.  Enjoy!

At the Viewing Area

A few images from yesterday afternoon.  A dozen or so bullfinch, great tit and blue tit along with long-tailed tit, chaffinch and robin were around for most of the time.  A jay put in a very quick visit, too.

Early Autumn birds at the feeding station

A few of the birds that were round and about the feeders last Saturday.  A jay and great spotted woodpecker kept out of camera range.  And, at the weir, a pair of mallards and a teal.  Enjoy!

Another busy afternoon at the Viewing Area

There was plenty of activity yesterday, as last week, when I spent time at the Viewing Area.  The female pheasant was still about and a sparrowhawk had feasted on a pigeon earlier in the day.  I don't know what species, but it may have been the mate of the woodpigeon that was around all the time I was there.  It's the first time I've seen a woodpigeon feeding on the tables.  If so, an unlucky visit for the bird that got caught.

Enjoy a few images from the afternoon:

A few of the usual suspects...

...and some that are not.


There was plenty of action at the Bird Viewing Area late yesterday afternoon, including a bird I haven't seen there before.  Enjoy the photographs.
