TITS!

 Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit and my favourite... Long Tailed Tit

I was able to get out for a couple of hours today to visit Mere Sands Wood where despite the biting wind the sun was shining  I was able to photograph a few different varieties of our beautiful birds.

These were all some distance away, at the limit of my lens in some cases nevertheless they are all rather nice.

Feathered Friends

Today's offering shows a couple of wonderful birds, the first one is a lovely little Coal Tit and the second a much more brightly coloured Great Tit. We may be lucky enough to see these regularly in our parks, gardens and hedgerows but they are so beautiful we shouldn't overlook them

Hungry Birds

Yesterday I headed out to Mere Sands Nature reserve but was really disappointed because there were so few birds around.  I did have a very pleasant walk and it was nice having some quiet time in the hides.

For a little while I hung around a feeding station for the wild birds and watched as various birds flew in and out to grab a quick snack.  It was really difficult to get a decent shot because they all came and went so quickly. I did however manage a few and the four pictures above of the Coal Tit and Robin are the best of the bunch. 

I like the contrast between the tit which was alert and watchful, ready to take flight at the slightest movement and the robin which was curious yet confident.
