EIGHT DAYS IN








Well,  it's eight days into the new year and I thought it was about time that I did a post ( I don't know how some of you guys manage to post almost every day, I wish I could be as organised!)


So far it's been a good year for getting out and about and teaming up with Keith I've managed to visit, and squelch my way around in the mud and the puddles, a good few of the local birding spots.


The mostly dull and damp conditions have not been good for photography but here are a few of the better  images that I've managed to capture.

Some of the stunning Waxwings seen in the car park at Central Milton Keynes shopping centre




Common Snipe



Water Pipit



Blue Tit



Dunnock



Marsh Tit





My personal bird count for the year has now reached  66 species seen and I hope to add a good few more tomorrow when  Keith and I plan to visit RSPB Frampton Marsh in Lincolnshire and (time permitting)  RSPB Titchwell Marsh in Norfolk. The weather prediction is for a cold and sunny day so hopefully I'll see, and photograph, a good selection of birds.
