Redwings, Fieldfares and Starlings

Today we  had an influx of  birds eating Rowan berries, if you are quick there may be some berries left on Monday but I doubt if there will be any by Tuesday.

All Hides

All of the hides are now open and are being fed at regular intervals.
Remember if you wish to use the Coarse pool hide you will require the key as it is locked when not in use.
Redwings and Mistle Thrushes have already been seen and who knows what may turn up, the only way to find out is to be there.
Last year more and more Buzzards were seen at the Coarse pool, as well as the Buzzard hide, this year both hides will be fed.

Young Life

We are now surrounded by new life, most of the common birds now have young.
I have been following the exploits of the young Woodpeckers that I was watching in the nest and they are growing, at a great rate, as can be seen in the following images, all of the other young birds are also growing on and there is a lot of activity at both of the hides that are open at Marton.
Around the site there is a lot of activity, with insect life as well as flowers and birds.

The last few visit's to Marton

A bit quiet at the moment with all of the nest sitting going on, a few of the species are well on the way and feeding young, most are just sitting and some are still chasing around like school boys on heat..
