Summer Visitors

Well, the summer visiting birds seem to be piling in by the day. I took a stroll along the edges of the West Pennine Moors today, to see what was around. The skies were alive with Swallows, and every other tree was hosting at least one Willow Warbler. I spent a good couple of hours tracking down a Whitethroat (which refused to pose for a pic!), and managed a nice shot of a Willow Warbler later in the day. Nice record of both species.

Nesting Treecreeper

Had a short dash up into the local woodland this afternoon. I was trying to photograph a green woodpecker which I had seen earlier in the week (but of course didn't have the camera!). The woody remined elusive, but I managed to get a couple of shots of a treecreeper with nest building material.
