I have never seen a Bullfinch before so I was very excited to spot this at the top of a tree right next to the pathway we were walking. There were two Males and one Female, she sat patiently while they both circled her and gathered buds from the tree.
Long Tailed Tit appeared to be staking a claim to territory in the wood while the Blue Tit seems reluctant to come out of hiding!
Goldcrest at Paxton Pits. Prior to this year I had never seen a Goldcrest, I have spotted them on my last three bird watching/photography days out!
Tawny Owl at Eldernell Lane, Nene Washes RSPB, I was hoping to see the Long Eared and Short Eared Owl too as they had been sighted recently but they were not apparent.
This male Goldcrest was difficult to photograph as he moved around so quickly so I felt happy to have captured these images.
We headed for Fen Drayton Nature Reserve after hearing it was a good place to see Bullfinch. On arrival in the car park we spoke to a gentleman who had seen six that morning in the hedgerows so we were optimistic we may see them too. We had a walk along the River Great Ouse where we saw this half submerged boat. We then continued along the footpath around Ferry Lagoon.
