Pennington Flash

I spent a few hours at Pennington Flash in Manchester at the weekend. There were plenty of birds around, but just too far away for my camera. Still, I got good views through the bins of Snipe, Common Sandpiper, Kingfisher, Willow Tit, Willow Warbler and many more.
Just a few shots below for you.

Great Crested Grebe
 
 


Dunnock

Bullfinch

A very scruffy looking Blackcap

    I like these photos this week Adam. Thanks for linking up at the Bird D'Pot.

    The great crested grebe is on 'my list' to find and photograph; after seeing YOUR images, I so want to see one with my own eyes now!!!

    The Great Crested Grebe is found in India too, but I haven't seen it yet. The other birds are new to me. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    Nice pictures you show.
    Really like the great crested grebes.
    Thanks for your comment on my blog ...... sparrows are also on the decline here in Denmark - forest sparrow is, the majority of.
    Wish you a good Sunday :)
