Warnham LNR.... the birds are returning..

The weather has turned somewhat chillier since my last visit to Warnham; more of the 'winter birds' about now.  Although I didn't see one today, a Redpoll was listed in the 'book' as being seen a couple of day ago.

Dozens of gulls around out on the water..

Squirrel enjoying the spilled food from the feeders..

Many Goldfinches about..

and a female Great Spotted Woodpecker enjoying the fat 'tree'

A blackbird below, waiting for the dropped seeds etc.

Today, lovely to see my first Siskin of the season... a rather splendid male.

one of a few Pheasants patrolling..

Saw two robins fighting today..

and more Goldfinches

Later on a female Great Spotted Woodie..

 Loads of Chaffinches..

and the Siskin returned a bit later..

Seems a very berryful autumn this year - please tell the Waxwings :)

Wasn't there for long, but good to have a breath of fresh air and to see so many birds again..
