Small Birds.

Couple of weeks ago I put up a new feeding place down in Rivelin valley in a oak forest, and this morning I took the bike down to it to fill it up but also to take pics of the birds that might come by to eat. Which turned out to be good because it was full of activity there.I filled up with the nuts and seeds, and then hid myself in a hiding place that I built of some logs and fern leaves. From it it's approx 4m to an old tree where I usually throw in sunflower seeds and nuts in the holes and then I also put up sticks where birds can sit.
So far I have seen Nuthatch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit and Long-tailed Tit. I also heard a Robin and Green Woodpecker. I just hope that the Woodpecker find its way to my feeding place, but also a Jay which is one of my favorite birds.Feels good to come back with photography again after few weeks of mostly editing pictures. I've been out many times but the weather has been miserable and rainy so not pics were taken.
Until next time....

Beech forest in Rivelin Valley

Today, just after lunch,  I biked down to the Rivelin Valley to take pictures of the beautiful beech forest. For it is now they're at their finest with their bright leaves.
There seem to be only the upper part, which has beech a few hundred meters.
Some of the trees are huge do not know how old they are, but thickest are about 1m in diameter. So maybe a couple of hundreds years old.
Since the river is down in a valley, so it is pretty nice when the sun shines down through all the leaves. Walked around there for a few hours and also looked for the dipper, who was busy feeding their small ones.
From thursday-monday I`am going to hiking in the Peak District, so there will be no blogging during that time.
So see u on tuesday. :) :)
