Super photos Julie :clap3:

Don't the Little Stint and the Dunlin look similar ... I'd need an expert on hand to tell me which was which!

With all the different feeders hanging up I was amazed at how popular this little pot feeder was!

Again distant but I was just pleased to have got a photo of the Speedy Kingfisher at Sculthorpe Moor , he didn't hang around for more than 10 seconds :notfair:

At least the Brambling there hung around for a few pics :grin:

The most impossible bird to photograph that i have come across are Goldcrests!! after a week of trying these were the only shots I got :giggle:

Surprisingly Pensthorpe was pretty quiet for birds when we visited (the Fly agaric made up for that though :grin: )

:thankyou: for all of your lovely comments :cool:

I was going to buy one of the post feeders Paula until I saw they were £9 which I though was a bit expensive :shrug: I'm sure they'd be cheaper online :cool:

More super photos Julie :clap3: and some great species there ... so many that it seems unfair to single any out. I must admit to being envious of the Brambling, Goldcrest and Nuthatch though as they are birds I have never seen (or if I have, it was when I was a child!!).
