GREENFINCH & WATER RAIL STITHIANS RES 15/01/2015


Took a quick cold trip to Stithians Res yesterday morning to add a few species to the year list, which at the moment stands at 85.
Did not stay to long as it was quite cold and having a heavy cold at the moment was not feeling like to much birding.
Anyway needs must so managed to get another four species added, it was very nice to see Greenfinches as the ones I used to have on my feeders at home seem to have been wiped out by the virus a couple of years ago.
The Water Rail is normally around the feeder area though rather wary and is gone at the slightest of movement, but I guess it was Hungary as it was very obliging.

    Lovely shots there Monty, especially like the Water Rail, not an easy bird to get pics of, I keep
    saying I will have to visit Stithians. Hope you shift that bug soon, though if its anything like the bug
    I have it will take a while.
