An hour spent in the woods at Blean.

After I finished up yesterday from my Grove ferry visit, on the way home (well sort of on the way) I called into the woods at Blean where I was able to get a few photos of the woodland species that frequent the wood.











The reason for my return was for the Nuthatches, which have been a little reluctant to show for the camera this year. Last year, although I visited later in the spring, they were not camera shy at all, but I did get a few shots this session as they dropped on to a fallen tree to mop up the few peanuts left by the numerous Tits that were in attendance.









I said to myself after gaining numerous Coal Tit shots over the past 2 weeks that I would not take any more, but I could not resist one more as it posed on top of a stump.(Do you recognise the stump Bill ?)



I also saw 2 Firecrest's chasing each other around the bushes and heard a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker calling from deeper within the wood.
