I have been away for the past few weeks in Sri Lanka and today was the first stroll around the common. The weather has turned and it is definately colder. As for the birds, there were lots of Great Tits, Blue Tits and two groups of Long tailed tits. There are several tame Robins beside the pond, they are one of my favourite birds to photograph, probably because they are so bold and hence the number of photos above. I have also posted a couple of photos which sum up the sort of morning it was. There were eight Cormorant perched in trees above the pond (yesterday) and a lone Shoveler which is a new one to the list as was a Common gull. Brian said he had already seen the Shoveler and also a Song thrush, so that's three all told taking the list to 46 species. There were also 30 Black Headed gulls on the pond. Walking back towards Clairview road there was a group of three very active Great spotted woodpeckers.
