SOME VERY LOCAL BIRDING.



Early on Christmas morning I went to check out the local Rowan berry trees just in case some of the Waxwings that had been reported in the local counties were visiting the trees that they favoured last year.They weren't unfortunately and the berries were being devoured by some winter thrushes.

There were a few Redwings that dropped down to feed up on the berries. 








There were quite a few Fieldfares that also were devouring the berries.







  
This morning as I was gazing  out of a bedroom window and seeing that my feeders were still attracting very few birds a Male Blackcap suddenly appeared on top of one of my fences.Grabbed the camera opened the top hung opening light and managed to grab a few shots before it flew off.Pleased with the shots as it was very gloomy.
