Craigs UK Bird Photos

Christmas-New year Period.

December is nearly over i have spne t a few days visiting family in Derbyshire, with very little serious birding done, i have searched through the gulls at the usual good spots but the tips have been discouraging the gulls so i found very little. The only birds i did find were a 1st Winter med Gull and 2 Argentatus herring Gulls at Carsington Water. Couldnt find any Hawfinch this time either.

On Returning to Cumbria i have checked Soddy a few times but again very little, the pond is frozen and the Wildfowl have gone, a few Bullfinch, Treesparrows and Yellow Hammers Brightened the Day. A Pinkfoot has tagged along with the resident Greylags.

December 1st-7th

All Week i have been passing Central Car Park In Keswick to get lovely views of between 30 and 42 Waxwings. But not seen much else really. Soddy hosted 60+ Meadow pipit, a lot for Soddy, 40+ Chaffinch, 12 Long-tailed tit, 3 Goldcreast, 2 Lesser Redpoll, 2 Dead Greylag in Ice!!!!!, Kestrel and the usual Tree Sparrows, Yellow Hammers, and Reed buntings.
