My
final shot from Warnham was of a tree creeper - but it has not come
out very clearly. Our next trip was to Pulborough Brooks. First up we
grabbed coffee and sat watching the bird feeders -
-
plenty of blue tits, great tits, and chaffinch, along with a couple
of robins, a nuthatch...
One
of the first birds we spotted once wandering along the hides and
lookouts that was not a waterbird was a male bullfinch - along with
two female or juvenile blackbirds. With the help of our noccies, we
saw plenty of waterfowl - gosander, shoveler, shelduck, teal,
widgeon, coot, moorhen, lapwing, mallard, swan, egret, heron,
kestrel...but all too distant to photograph.
Here
are a pair of (male/female) shovelers with a widgeon behind. If I
show the original picture however, you may agree its hard to spot
individuals sans bins.
And
again, another field shot that needs a zoom or noccies to identify
the birds. This shot shows predominantly widegon, with a coot and
pair of shovelers.
It's hard to spot the birds in the wide shots, but those are beautiful misty fields.
ReplyDeletethats why i did the close up on the computer - without it its hard to see them - just like with eyes instead of bins.
