Ladywalk Nature Reserve Lesser Redpoll's, Reed Bunting, Peregrine Falcon

Lovely morning at Ladywalk Reserve, got my best views of Lesser Redpoll and Reed Bunting's.
So nice to watch them eat and fly back and for at close distance, and could watch them all day and was great photographing them.
The Peregrine Falcon was on the pylon eating a pigeon, poor pigeon but the Peregrine has to eat :)

Ryder's Haye lake - Great Northern Diver and Whitacre heath and Ladywalk

Went to Ryder's Haye lake again at Clayhanger on Boxing day for the Great Northern Diver wanted to get some photos with my new camera, was showing well again could watch him diving in and of the water all day, very enjoyable to watch and take photos off.

On the 27 th we went to Whitacre Heath was nice having a play with my camera there watching the birds through the hide and saw Marsh tit which was a new bird for me :)

We then went to Ladywalk got some nice photos of the Redwing and one of Fieldfare and distant views of the peregrine Falcon.

 

Ladywalk - Water rail, Reed bunting

Great morning at Laywalk highlight being the Water Rail really good views from the hide struggled for a photo as he kept showing but then disappearing but great to see him and is my first Water Rail.
Also so had clear views of the Reed buntings on the feeders lovely birds :) Also bullfinches on the feeders always a pleasure to see a Bullfinch may be common but so beautiful.
Was great to see a female pheasant from the hide and near by the closest views I have ever had.
Just outside Ladywalk on the telephone pylon was a peregrine falcon one of my fav birds of prey.
