Birds alongside The Cam

I hesitate to say I shall turn over a new leaf, but it is a new year for me and I should like to capture it with images.

I hadn't expected to see that much bird life alongside The Cam this morning as it was overcast (not unusual) and windy.   Was delighted to watch a Grey Wagtail feeding young close to the path at Baits Bite Lock.





I also saw a Black Cap - the first of the summer for me.


Although Robin and Wren are more common birds, it is always a pleasure to enjoy their song.







To round off the morning, I saw a Goldfinch and was amazed to see just how much speed the bird generated in its first leap off a twig.   Yes, I know, the bird isn't in focus!
