Long Tailed Tit captured at Paxton Pits by Jackie Hill.

What a difference this year from last year. We have been able to meet up for the second Breeding Bird survey of the year.
The morning did not disappoint. The air was full of bird song. You could hear the cuckoo from the Visitor Centre garden, and you could watch Long Tailed Tits and Greenfinch in and out from their nests in the hedge there.
This photo is one Jackie Hill took that morning of a Long-Tailed Tit taking food into the nest. Two nightingales were also heard near the moorings. It perhaps shows how cool the weather has been as a fieldfare was also seen. These have usually moved on by now.
