The next excursion we took was taken at the close of March to Warnham nature reserve. I took a bunch of pictures of a red poll....that did not show up very well.
We also saw siskin and reed bunting, but most of my pictures were of the bank voles we spotted, as we don't usually see them either. The redpoll pair was a quite rare spotting for me, though Liz has seen them before.
Above is the female in a tree.
At the next hide, we spotted a male and female pheasant.
The male is very shiny and brightly colored at this time of year, but the female, although duller, is still pretty in her markings.
I then spotted a wood pigeon sitting in the tree.
We then went to the small hide overlooking the boggy fields - and found a greylag goose.
The contrast between the male and female pheasant is remarkable. I love the greylag goose popping up in the bog. 😀
ReplyDeleteyes if you like pretty and colorless or pretty and colorful....one pheasant to suit
