Stithians southern cut off today

It was good to be out and about on a lovely sunny but cold day at Stithians southern cut off hide today and I was pleased to record my first female Brambling image of the year posted below thanks to the eagle eye of Hilary Mayes

The feeders were very busy with small birds including several raiding parties of  Long Tailed Tits and Goldfinches and I was treated to a nice take-off sequence to merge by the resident female Great Spotted Woodpecker

 All to soon it was time to head off home to do battle with a new desktop computer and lots of new software so this blog might be a little late on posting tonight !!
