Frustrated

by the weather again......

I think I have managed to get out around three times this year, most disappointing for it's now the second week of Feb. Having been inspired by Lou Mary's post (here) after her Treecreeper sighting I decided to go down to my patch to see if I could see any in addition to the one I found the other weekend. I took my camera.....

The "Patch" is a woodland area 10 minutes walk from my house. This first shot shows the stream running through it in some rare sunshine

and one of my boxes

This is a favorite area of mine harboring Chiff Chaff in the winter, Goldcrest and Coal Tit. It'll be great if Coal Tit use a box and the Goldcrest stay to breed.  

This conifer tree has only recently fallen - such a shame

and this beast of a nest belongs to a Wren - ok it's a Buzzard's nest

located in this group of conifer it's too high for me

and no - I didn't see Treecreeper
