Not a bird I get to see on my feeders every day

Twelve Months of Wildlife...

My feathered friends

A few short clips of some of the birds that visit my garden.



Wild Bird Wednesday

Martin Mere Wildlife and Wetlands Trust

A short clip of the birds at the Wetlands and Wildlife Trusts reserve Martin Mere Lancashire.

This was captured during November 2011... Whooper Swans were in good numbers.

They feed the wild birds around 3pm every day... don't have the sound too loud as they are very noisy.

Asian Small-clawed Otter (Aonyx cinerea)

Two creatures... one leaf

I was capturing clips of the Red Admiral...as it flew off the Ladybird just appeared out of nowhere.

Pied Wagtails (Motacilla alba)

Pied Wagtails at Moore Nature Reserve Cheshire

This video was captured on a hot dry summers day in July 2011

Busy on the garden bird feeders

House Sparrows are having a bad time in the UK but mine seem to be doing OK.

The bird with yellow on it's wings is a Goldfinch and it's a Blackbird at the end of the clip.

High Legh Rookery

The Rookery opposite High Legh Garden Centre on the A50 in Cheshire.

It's a very busy road with lots of traffic noise... the Rooks don't seem to mind.
