Lee Harrison's Nature Photography.: Chiffchaff

First thing first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, I hope that you had a fantastic day.

Well yeah, it was my Mum's birthday today, so we had a family day out to Dunsop Bridge, lots of different birds knocking around, Stonechats, Curlew, Oystercatchers, kestrel, plenty of Peregrines, Common Buzzard and a single female Hen Harrier witch was lovely to watch cruising around above our heads, although I was unable to get any pictures.

After tea I headed down to a local patch to see if anything was around, lots of birds singing in the tops of trees, Chaffinch, Blue Tit Great Tit, ChiffChaff and many more including my first Yellow Hammer of 2009, here are a few pics i managed to take whilst walking around:-

As I strolled back to the car, I came across a toad, hiding in the leaf litter by a small wall, here are a few picture that the co-operative toad let me take:-

Thankyou for reading my blog and I hope that you visit again,

Had a day out with my Dad on Wednesday for four hours, started off at Marshide and then headed down to Mere Sands Wood; it turned out to be a fantastic day where we encountered 70 different species including male and female Brambling, 2 female crossbills, a willow tit our first White Wagtail, male and female Wheatear and 4 swallows.
