Marsh Lane Nature Reserve - Yellowhammers

Not much about of late we have been doing local birding but not found much had lot's of spring Chiffchaffs, won't be long before all the migrants come in :)
 Had a lovely couple of hours at Marsh Lane Nature reserve this weekend with some showy Yellowhammers my best views ever and my first ever photos of one :)
Such beautiful striking little birds, very enjoyable being able to watch them.
Also nice watching the Reed Buntings so close.

Marsh Lane Nature Reserve - Waxwings


Was a nice surprise when Dave got a text to say there was Waxwings at Marsh Lane Nature Reserve, I was not expecting to see anymore this year, I was very excited just love these birds could never get fed up with them, there so beautiful.
We headed over to the Marsh Lane the waxwings were high up in the trees but lovely to see them and hear them again, they came lower down giving a chance for some record shots :)
Then they flew off high whilst we were there, it's sad this is most likely my last Waxwings of the year, I have enjoyed them so much this year fingers crossed next year will be a Waxwing year too :)
