Wood Warbler

Whilst I was at my Grandma's at half term, I saw quite an interesting collection of birds, from Flycatchers to Sandwich Terns. But the bird I was surprised to see the most was the Wood Warbler; these active birds breed in my Grandma's and Grandpa's wood every year, however my Grandpa was rather concerned they hadn't turned up this year until I spotted one on Friday, the last day of visiting my Grandma's.


I have to say my Grandma's wood really does inspire with all it's wildlife (including all it's lovely flowers, like Blue Bells).


 It wasn't just Warblers, Flycatchers and Terns that I really enjoyed watching; all there garden birds like Chaffinches (below) gave me a good chance to practice my photography.


I hope you like my pictures (Greenfinch below).


I will soon be back with another post all about Cemlyn Bay and the big tern colony that lives there.

    A wood Warbler is a good find anywhere in the North West Findlay. Even better to get a picture of one.
