Apologies for the lack of photos and posts this last 3 days. Photography has been difficult because I have been working on the "Nature Centre", now nick named Fleming's Folly by my friend Dick who mischievously stuck a name plate there while I was away. the work has been disturbing the birds of course and it's been hard to get a photo to post. Today though, I went wit the intention of getting some photos, the Kingfisher will have to wait a while! The pit hide is going well and now giving perfect views of the water with an infinity background but the birds, so far are not so keen but I am sure they will start to use it very soon. Pleasingly, at least 3 Nuthatches are regular visitors to the feeders and I am getting the chance to photograph them as they investigate the log placed there for them and the Woodpeckers that have yet to find the freebies. As I have always enjoyed Nuthatches then I am more than pleased. In the shot above the infinity background is very effective so I am pleased with the results.Three Buzzards were around this morning so the thought of hem coming down to feed is a real possibility and the main reason that the whole thing was set up in the first place. I continue to leave a carcass for them and last night the foxes had quite a feast. They decapitated a Rabbit carcass, I am hoping to get them accustomed to feeding on the free offerings too and really hoping for some photographs of them soon.
This is the infinity pool (taken on an Ipad) with perches and feeding station tree trunks in the background. The pit is to the right at ground level of course. You can see the difficulty the light might present, but in the late afternoon and early evening the pool and perches are surrounded in a golden light.
