A Couple More

Finally managed to take a few additional photos to count towards the Big Bird Race.

First up is a Jay, although a very distant one, taken from my flat in London across the garden on 15th November, I'll hopefully get a better one as it is a frequent visitor, problem is I'm only really home when it's dark at this time of year.

At the weekend we had relatives down from up north, they wanted to see the big bright lights of London Town and to witness the gold paved streets, bless...  Anyway we had a full weekend, a quick hour of which was a dash around half of the Serpentine where I managed to grab a few more photos.

Today (27th November) I had to travel for work, on the way back and knowing the misses was going to be Xmas shopping till late I check tinterweb to see if I would be passing any nature reserves. I was astonished to find that RSPB Fairburn Ings was only 20 minutes from my location so I thought I'd pop in for a quick hour (wish I'd had a long hour, the quick ones whizz past). There wasn't a great deal to see as it was already getting dark but a rare treat for me was the mass of Tree Sparrows, I haven't seen Tree Sparrows for years, probably 15! Certainly not in the last three years that I've been keeping year lists anyway. Here is a sample of them, beautiful little things:
