Chiffchaff...More Bird Photography!

I was delighted to find that I have attracted another new bird to my garden that I have never seen before, this time a Chiffchaff. Before I got a good view of this well camouflaged little bird I had mistaken it for a Greenfinch, however, once I got a good view of it I soon realised that it was not only too small but also had a distinctive green flash through each eye. I looked on the RSPB website and in a reference book of British birds and found it to be a Chiffchaff. I didn't get many shots but am pleased that I have been able to photograph a different garden bird and have seen him once since so hopefully there will be more and more now they know there's food and water available.

Nuthatch On A Peanut Feeder

I went back to the WWT Arundel a couple of weeks back and came away with some decent shots. Having wandered around for a while I finally settled in a small hide that has dozens of bird feeders that attract loads of small varieties of birds and on the day I spotted Blue Tits, Great Tits, Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Robins, Sparrows, Coal Tits and Marsh Tits to name but a few. Pictured here is the Nuthatch, which until I took these photographs, I had never set eys on before so it was an exciting moment when he darted in and settled on the peanut feeder for a few moments.
