Burgess Croft.

(MON 24th)The number of varieties of birds on the feeders still staying fairly constant, yet the numbers have dropped slightly.whether this is due to the warmer days i don't know. Birds seen on the feeders between 8.30 and 9.00am being :- Starling, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Brambling, House sparrow,Robin,Blue Tit, Great Tit, Dunnock, Collard Dove, Reed Bunting, Wood Pigeon and Redpoll.

Visited L/Coed in the afternoon, looking at the blog i see that Mark W  has posted the sightings along with a few photo's so that has saved me  a task. Brian P was also there, along with a, little later four more birders. and although there was'nt much to look at it gave us time to catch up with each others sightings and recent
birding holidays; that some had been on.

PS.    Iv'e been informed from a reliable source that i should'nt refer to the photographic fraternity as Happy Snappers, There now refered to as IRT's , That is  ( Immage Replicating Technitions) I think that might be something that has come from our Bovine friends.!!!!!!.
