Birds

We have a great variety of birds and are too many to mention but you can see our bird report click here It was only recently that I saw a green woodpecker. I had to go home and look it up. One of my favourites is the little blue-tit. When you manage to get up close it looks like it has a Punk haircut. Another cutie is the nuthatch. I wonder which are your favourite birds?

On the lake I like the tufted ducks. We get a Mandarin duck pop in to see us sometimes as well as cormorants which the fishermen are not too keen on as they are better fishers than they are. Other visitors include the grey lagged goose, goosanders and the little egret.
