Feeding Frenzy







The new feeding station by the bridge at Cromwell Bottom really is producing the goods. Also attending several Robins, 2 Siskin, numerous Great tits and Blackbirds and multiple Bullfinch.


Elsewhere 7 Goldeneye (6 female), 1 Pochard, 7 Tufted Duck, 10 Grey Heron, 1 Goosander (female), 3 Little Grebe, 1 Cormorant, 2 Moorhen, 7 Coot, 4 Mistle Thrush, 1 Song Thrush along with too many Canada Geese and lots of BHG, 1 Common Gull also seen.


Nuthatch and Reed Bunting both heard but not seen and no sign of the Kingfisher though 90% of Canal frozen over so it had probably moved onto the river.

Nice photos Andy, were they taken with a Lumix, if so which model.

Cheers Nick, yes it's a Lumix I have the FZ38.

Like the shots Andy. Any further news on the report of a Hawfinch?

Bruce said...

Brilliant Photos Andy.

Thanks guys, only thing worth adding re the Hawfinch Dave is that it does sound like a solid report as the observer said he'd seen them previously in Clumber Park. Great record and obviously be nice to think it's still around though this weather has probably moved it on.
