A good day out

Spent the morning up at Lake Vyrnwy and the female Pied Flycatcher is back weather was not on my side so left for home ground.



Met up with Paul for a hour just after dinner where I finally got to see the contents of my local Dipper nest 3 birds ringed and the parents shortly after were feeding as normal


Parted ways with Paul but stayed in the same area and came across a Blackbirds nest with 4 chicks in, Not far from there found a nice spot for the hide with a lot of Gold crest about so maybe tomorrow will produce a good shot for what has been a nightmare bird for me to photograph.


Light was fading fast amongst the trees so left for home when I came across this little nest did not hang about to see what bird it belonged to so any help would be nice will check this out again tomorrow.
