Woodland Birds




When I am out in the woods I very often struggle to see the birds because I am colour blind so looking up into the tree tops I am sure that I miss a great deal in spite of their beautiful plumage... However I managed to capture this lovely Great Tit as it took a brief pause on its flight through the trees.

The Nuthatch is one of my favourite woodland birds, I like the orange and grey of its feathers and I like the black mask giving something of the appearance of a bandit.  This little bird was visiting a cache of seeds in a small hollow in the tree trunk.  It was quite difficult to get a steady shot in low light conditions as he was constantly on the move but I don't think these are too bad.
