Wakeham

Another sunny day and for the female Blackcap her 18th day visiting the feeders in the back garden. Also about 2 Goldfinches, a Great Tit, 2 Chaffinches and a Robin. On the Sub-station just off Bumpers Lane a very vocal Pied Wagtail and on the roof top a Collared Dove calling.

Overhead there was a distant Raven, Buzzard and a Carrion Crow mobbing a Sparrowhawk.

The female Blackcap is joined by a Great Tit and Blue Tit on the feeders.

One of the two Goldfinches on the feeders this morning.......

.......and here the other one waits its turn.

The Blackcap was on here earlier, but seems to be taking turns with this Robin.

Here a Great Tit is on the feeder..........

.....and I just managed to catch him flying off with a seed in his beak.

A busy day on the feeders with a Great Tit, female Blackcap and a Blue Tit

2 Goldfinches feeding on sunflower seeds. One of them flew off to the other feeder....

.....here.

To see this female Chaffinch take a Sunflower Seed from the feeder I have slowed the video down by X4.

A few record shots of birds overhead.

Common Buzzard

Sparrowhawk and Carrion Crow.
