Chiffchaff Descending

Prunus Spinosa (Plum family)

I mentioned in a previous post that the inward migrating Chiffchaff initially perch high up in trees singing away. This made reasonable photograpy difficult. At last they have decided to make life easier by descending down to small trees and large bushes. As a result I was able to get some better shots as nelow.

Now at Lodmoor Reserve Weymouth the Black-tailed Godwit have arrived in some numbers. (Approx 25 I counted)) Some are still showing their breeding plumage. However they have not ventured too close to the pathways yet.

Robins are very colourful sweet little birds. 

(Yeah right!)

Not so sweet when another Robin enters their territory. One of many threatening poses below signalled towards an unwanted intruder of the same species

The Intruder below didn't hang around long enough for a good photograph.
