To be more accurate we are back but no matter they seem pleased to see us
Three or four Bluetits.
Dozens of Coaltits.
The Nuthatch is much tamer. Due to the wind I could only unwind the awning a couple of feet or so. He appears quite unperturbed.
The Pheasant gratefully collecting what the others throw away.
As is the Grey Squirrel. I’m undecided about this one as it does seem to have ear tufts and isn’t very big.
These are going to become the bane of my life this week. Either moving at the speed of light or perched bobbing tantalisingly out of range.
I am also getting Great Tits and Chaffinches at the feeders but they are unusually shy.
Hi Adrian.
ReplyDeleteYou are one up on me...I have never photographed a Nuthatch. Actually I have not seen many..three I think. The Dipper is always a problem. Once disturbed they do not go far but once you are rumbled the chance of getting a good shot is virtually nil.
Trevor, I will second that, frustrating wee things. The problem with the site is that it's surrounded by Rhododendron so I have to get them on the feeders.
ReplyDeleteThat Nuthatch is a cracker Adrian. Looks like he's giving you the eye.
ReplyDeleteKeith I'm amazed how trusting it is being only a yard away.
