A poor shot of the blackbirds nesting outside our living room window(should probably say lounge, am revealing my working class roots!). I've counted four chicks but maybe five.
Not a great shot as when the light is right to illuminate the nest, it is also bouncing off of the window. Don't want to do anything that will disturb them. Maybe a polarising filter would help but Apple don't provide them (how inconsiderate) and am trying to do the 366 with iPhone only (plus it's a fag to go all the way upstairs to dig put the slr, whose battery will probably be flat),
Springwatch is an annual TV venture on the BBC here in UK where they visit an area of wildlife interest with livecams in nestboxes, video features of various wildlife projects, etc. It's very encouraging how much interest it generates.
This isn't regrettably our garden, but an area of the local country park.
Umm..... coal tits? No, maybe great tits? (sorry, I know, pathetic!)
This is Pensthorpe near Fakenham. It is used by BBC Springwatch. They have various different bird species here.
It was the Winner of Best Norfolk Attraction 2009.
This area is the Mill Pond.
Spotted off Blakeney Point - a BBC film crew. A relative newcomer to Norfolk, often seen at Pensthorpe in spring (but not after this year apparently).
Some rare and welcome visitors to our garden. Often seen in the wider area but very seldom this close. I'm now worried they're eyeing up a nesting site in thecatstree, so named because the cat likes climbing it...
