Another of the photos taken yesterday, early in the morning everything seems a lot more accepting of people and a lot more active which enabled me to take this :).

Blue tit nest

After completing the Mink raft surveys with my college mate Matt, i went for a walk in the woods with my camera. Was about to turn back when a call i don't often hear caught my eye, above was a goldcrest (although at the time i thought possibly a firecrest). I stood and used the age old trick of waiting for nature to come to you. Out of the corner of my eye i saw something fly off of a tree. I didn't think much off it but then it happened several times.I stood back and waited. Turns out i was stood next to a Blue tit nest. That was me entertained for the next couple of hours :D.

Canada goose take off !

Another photograph from lakeside. This goose was one of many being bullied by a male swan which has gained a reputation. This photo was taken as it was trying to take off and escape.
