Below here are some of the birds you can get really close to in some of the hides. It's so nice just to sit and watch these birds at close quarters. I sit in some of these hides for ages, no camera, just watching and studying there behaviour. Fantastic.
Greenfinch
A really stunning Nuthatch.
A Jay. Pretty difficult to get so close to these very flighty and nervous birds.
Sorry for chopping the tail off of this Magpie, but go too close and I like the shot anyway.
Fantastic photography and love all the birds ~ so colorful ~ nature's beauty ~ Great post for OWT ~
