Default One For Peter B.........and anyone else local.

Peter, As your over my way a lot, Wendover woods College lake etc I thought you may be interested in a little place where you can sit in the comfort of your vehicle and get amazing pictures of treecreeper, nuthatch and most of the other woodland birds.

Clicky Here

At half past eight in the mornings during the winter months a group of dedicated dog walkers get to the car park here. They park on the left half way down the car park where there is a small mound of earth and trees in close proximity. They scatter some loose seed and nuts onto the mound then disappear to walk the dogs. The birds have realised the freebies are on offer and hey presto.
I managed som great shots with a Fuji finepix bridge camera on a window mount from the Land Rover last year.


Let me know if your going

Regards

Thanks for the tip. Got work for the next few days but might try and make it for the end of the week.

I need some good Nuthatch pictures.

Shall I let you know when I go?

Still housebound Peter but let us know how you get on and of course any pictures.

Oh, a small tub of seed may stand you in good stead too.
