Another weekend visit to Pennington Flash, and more great birds to see. It really never disappoints. Below are some birds I found at the Bunting Hide where seed is put out regularly and the birds visit frequently. It's always great to see the birds at close quarters. You can watch habits and see who doesn't like who. Which ones like to perch and which ones prefer to do fly by.
Willow Tit on tip toe.
Nuthatch
Bullfinch. (Now, is that not just a little too big for you?)
Such great photos. It's a long,long time since I last saw a nuthatch so thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteoh, they are so cute! the willow tit is just like our 'chickadee'. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely birds and terrific captures, Adam! Thanks for the smiles to begin the day!

ReplyDeleteGreat close-up photos of the birds. It's really good to see them that close.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful shots. I'm not a birder by any means but I've tried to take pictures of them and it takes a lot of patience to get shots as good as what you have.
ReplyDeleteGreat series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada. I've been trying to leave comments for a while to no avail.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures of these sweet little birds .... The Willow-tit on tippy-toes is just SO cute.
ReplyDeleteHoping you are enjoying a wonderful week

A nice series of cute birds and great photos. Have a happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteNice set of pictures - Is PF one of the places that have gained Nuthatch in the past 20 years - I know that they have been expanding north. Even in the few years I lived in Cumbria they become more common.
ReplyDeleteI have posted a bird you may like from Dubai - but my advice would be to go in the winter!

Stewart, yes I believe the Nuthatch is not a particularly common species at PF, but these guys do seem to be spreading out pretty well at the moment.
DeleteBeautiful shots of bird. I have not seen it before.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird photos! On tiptoe! Was the surface hot, by chance?
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my Camera Critters post! By the way, are you familiar with Abe Lincloln at Birds Birds Birds and Birds? You can access him on my sidebar bloglist. I think you two have a lot in common!
The birds were posing for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots!! All sweet little birds.
