Have had a lovely day out at Warnham Nature Reserve with Susan and Tricia. Saw my first frogspawn and Blackcap of the year. Got my first clear photos of a Chiffchaff, and some beautiful close up views of the Redpolls and a male Great Spotted Woodpecker.
I could have stayed in the hide by the bird feeders the whole day. Cannot recommend this place highly enough to anyone who just wants to get close up views of some stunning birds.
The design of the feeders is so good, that many natural shots are very feasible, without disturbing the birds in any way.
For £1 entry, this reserve has to be one of the best in the south.
In fact there really isn't much more to say. Great day and great company.
For once, there will be more photos than words on this blog tonight.
Make the most of it !
On the way home I stopped at Tescos, and found another wine bargain. Hardys Crest rose wine. Usually £10.99 per bottle, but on special offer of two for £10. Really could not say no.
Cheers :)
