Today I walked along a canal in an area of woodland north-west of Redditch known as Shortwood Roughs. I'm fairly familiar with the area from decades ago when I used to do a BTO Common Bird Census there. Things were very different in those days.
The small area I concentrated on this morning contained just the expected parties of woodland Tits etc, some Redwings, and a few Siskins. At least the autumnal colours were nice.
In fact I saw nothing to top the three Blackcaps which turned up in our garden yesterday. These birds will probably have come from central Europe to winter here, and a November arrival is typical.
The images would probably have been sharper if I hadn't taken them through our kitchen window. It's obviously time I cleaned it.
