Askham Bog


 My first visit of this year. More good winter sunshine.I took some bird seed with me and placed some  on several fence posts. It was only a matter of seconds until birds came to feed.





then a grey squirrel came along and all the birds flew off.


I walked a bit further along the boardwalk and saw goldfinches and siskins feeding in the trees.


a kestrel was on the lookout for a meal


I continued walking and had almost reached the entrance when I saw a treecreeper, tick 96 for the year. I tried taking a photo, but the bird moved very quickly and there always seemed to be a twig in the way.

A small flock of redwings flew into some trees as I approached the part of the wood where they had been searching for food in the leaf litter.


A pleasant two hours.
