Burdon Moor

A couple of days ago I had another trip to Burdon Moor. The apparently resident pair of Stonechat were the first birds I saw followed closely by three Skylarks. Three Buzzards were also calling to each other while a couple of Kestrel seemed to be pairing up. The last three images are from a few weeks ago but I forgot to put them on the Blog.

It came quite close at one point

One of three Buzzards

This one was eyeing me up

Too distant for a decent shot

This Kestrel was also giving me the eyeball

Rook

Lapwings

These are the images from a few weeks ago. Once again too distant for a decent shot but it’s always nice to see a Kestrel with its lunch.

The bit that got away.

 

Nothing rare…

…nothing amazing just a few pictures of the more common birds seen around Far Pastures today. It was just nice to be out of doors.

I seem to have neglected…

…my Blog for ages so here are a few images taken at Burdon Moor over the last month or more (most recent first).

A couple of dozen Redwing were in our churchyard today eating the berries on a holly tree so I took the opportunity to get some images.

I nearly got this one sharp.

Two or three Mistle Thrush were also coming in for the berries.
