Happy new year!

and 5 months later......
To say I've had a bit of a hiatus is probably an understatement!
I'm afraid that I rather lost focus during the summer and became "otherwise engaged". Well no matter, I'm back now and just in time for a new year by the look of it!
I've decided to change the name of the blog. Limiting myself to just the Orchard Centre is also limiting my bird list. I'm unlikely to get more than 70 off this small patch.
From here on in I'll be vising 3 or 4 local sites regularly and updating the blog from all locations.
Today however, I returned to the Orchard Centre hoping to see a few migratory ducks but alas the waters were bereft of birds of the quacking variety.
No matter, it was a good day for bullfinches - 8 in all. A very good number for such an elusive and beautiful bird.
A small group of Long Tailed Tits were also making their way down one of the hedgerows, allowing me time to fire off a couple of shots:
Good to be back!
