siskin are back again

another awful, rainy day, however, the wildlife seem to be untroubled by the weather.

nice to see siskin on site again, they were here last summer and winter too.
not sure, upon referring to bird books, whether they are resident in Britain or not.


a house sparrow plucks something tasty from a bramble.


a greenfinch, looking quite regal in the rain.

rain, rain, rain

a dull, wet day at the Mere, however, lots going on all the same

a heron patrolling near the Spit, not sure what he was after, but it went down nicely.



a muntjac, seen on site several times, this time in the Pyghtle by an alert Sheila
