Trip to the UK

Whilst on holiday in England, I took the opportunity to photograph some of the birds that would come to the feeders that my father had set up in his back garden.

The first in were Magpies, Jackdaws and Woodpigeons.

Then the Great Tits and Nuthatch came in to feed.

 One morning, there were also a few Goldfinch's and a Dunnock.

As the morning wore on, a few more birds come to the feeders; Coal Tits, Long-Tailed Tits, Robins, and there was a Grey Squirrel that would come in and scare all the birds away.

Once he had his fill and left, the birds returned.

We noticed that the birds would not frequent the feeders so often if it was after 10:30am so I made sure I was up nice and early to get the shots I wanted.

Also seen where a two Lesser spotted Woodpeckers and a Green Woodpecker nearby in the trees.

During a leisurely walk down the lake we saw Great Crested Grebe with their young, Mute Swans, and flying over head, a Common Buzzard and Red Kite.

Hope you all enjoy this post, as I had a wonderful time observing these birds!
