Autumn Birds

This is part of yesterdays walk and there seems to be more birds feeding. Some are coming here for the winter and other are residents here. Godwit's it seems winter here but breed in Siberia.

Anyway let's get on, most were out a way but there is a deep channel near the entrance to Motney Hill and there were a few there which meant that they were close to the shore line.

That was it no Cormorant's or Egret's

Last night's sunset was rather nice






Today I caught my Robin, I miss him this morning but this afternoon he was feeding off the bird table with his back to me. I sat down and pick up the camera and waited for him to turn round.





Thanks for looking

  1. Another good blog, like the robin ones, remind me to ask a question about birds tomorrow. BTW looks like Ashford is on, so a light breakfast is called for. Will update you in the morning by phone.
