Lynford Arboretum

Lynford Arboretum is somewhere I always try to visit when I'm spending time in Norfolk. I usually make it one of my stop offs on the way. Well, it's actually out of my way, but well worth it. In the winter months the trees can hold Crossbills and it's a very reliable site for Hawfinch. I wasn't lucky enough to see any this time, but someone had kindly put out some feed for the birds on some fence posts. The temperatures were still well below freezing so it was nice to be able to close to some of our more common species, such as Blue and Great Tits and Chaffinch.



Hey!! That's mine!!

    The Blue tits are such a pretty bird and your photos are excellent. The Finch seems to be getting along with the Tit which is not always the case. It was considerate of someone to feed the birds when it's so cold.
    Best Regards.

    What a beautiful little fellow. I have always wondered what a chaffinch looks like. Your photos are graet.

    Great close-ups of the Blue Tit Adam. You did well to get the Chaffinch and the BlueTit together like that as in my garden they would scrap being so next to each other.
