RAMBLING EXCURSIONS

Birds seen today

Walked to Adel Dam today – haven’t been for a while.  The first hide was busy and the feeders needed refilling so not a lot about.  Usual blue tits, great tits, long tail tits, chaffinch, moor hen and mandarin duck.  At the second hide it was the same apart from a bullfinch in the trees.  Rather disappointed, I walked around the outside and was rewarded with a Redwing.

This is not my own picture – one taken from the internet for illustration purpose.  As you can see it looks like a thrush but has red under its wing. So it was worth any while.  Then I walked back over the fields to Pauls pond where there were some very fine swans and tufted ducks.  Then just as I was about to leave I spotted a flash of incandescent blue as a kingfisher sped past.
