Siskin - Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve

Female Siskin - Carduelis spinus - feeding on the ground. A tree had fallen at the Reserve and was attracting a handful of Siskins to feed on the ground around the branches.

Autumn Snapshots

Nothing exceptional this weekend, just some snaps.

Coot - Fulica atra - heavy rain.

A Kingfisher in these conditions would of been superb ... alas only a Coot.

Dawn - no sign of the Cuckoo yet

Spring: Fighting Pheasants and BlueBells.

None of the Pheasant pictures quite work - either the framing was a bit off or the focus not quite where I wanted...

Heavy rain and hail at the Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve.

Always a twig infront of a Bullfinch ...

Dunnock in the rain

Early Sunday morning as the rain started to come in ...

Tufted Duck at Sunset

Bullfinches everywhere.

Everywhere I went there were Bullfinches seen or heard, but does a Bullfinch ever sit out in the open ?

Having seen three foxes on Saturday morning I tried predict their locations on Sunday for a decent picture. It worked rather too

well as I got within 5 feet of a fox before either of us realised the other was there ... no picture of that fox.
