I have yet to see a long tailed tit.. but two days ago I saw a Little Owl.
Today, several geese in flight. Best of all watched two heron fly up the river and settle right beside me as I drove past.

Mine's gotta be the male Great Spotted Woddpecker that regularly visits my feeder. He is such a character but always bullies the other birds of the feeder. But when his wife comes he doesn't stick around long to be told off by her  . |

Yesterday I was taking a dozen people on Winter Wildfowl tour round London Wetland Centre + I was really pleased that on our second attempt we managed to all see the Bittern- though it was hard work as it was just behind the front reeds, so was only visible as it was moving + we did see it catch a fish.
A pair of Stonechats was much more obliging + a new bird for at least one of the party. Despite their abundance in west London, very close views of Ring-necked Parakeets on feeders next to the hide, enabled a close inspection of these successful invaders. |

Bird of the day for me has to be the Cock Pheasant that was sitting tight under a Holly tree/shrub, as I was checking for suitable stick material, he just kept chuntering at me, good job Meg (springer) had gone on with the others, she can't resist flushing them out.

How lovely, Fergus. I've only ever seen distant glimpses of these beautiful birds.

This is the second year in a row this has happened! | | | |
