Attacking bird!

There's this chaffinch in our garden which flaps infront of the window. We found out that it was trying to scare away it's reflection! Crazy!

Garden Birds

The birds that come to my garden are robins, blue tits, sparrows, blackbirds, magpies, thrushes and LOADS more. There's even a sparrowhawk that is right at the back of our garden!!!!!!

Today (28.11.10)

Today I went to Fowlmere, an RSPB nature reserve. Last night it had been snowing so it was BEAUTIFUL! We went to this hide and instead of water, there was a beautiful frozen pond. It was covered in snow! Unfortunately, we didn'nt see any birds on the ice. We did see 3 moorhen, 3 ducklings, 8 ducks, 1 wren and 1 reed warbler in another hide. When we were walking back to the car, we saw 2 deer prancing across a field! We also saw a HUGE heron by the water cress beds. At the car park we saw a bird of prey and it flew right over our heads! (I think it was a hobby) While we were doing that, my brother was at a laser gun party. Boring! This was MUCH funner!
