CARHARRACK WOODS

About 1 1/2  miles North east of home is the next village Carharrack, and South of the village is a large area of woodland known as Carharrack Woods. These woods are on a private eatate with no public access, although there is a public footpath along the Eastern side. The habitat is quite varied with Oak, Sycamore Pine and Willow, also there is plenty of Gorse and a small reed area.
So yesterday morning I took a walk along the footpath, it was a beautiful morning wit temperatures around 18c.
A good selection of birds were seen and heard although most were to far away for photo's, the only ones close enough were the Chiffchaff and Buzzard below.
Others seen /heard were.

    A lovely day for a walk Monty! Beautiful photos of both the Chiffchaff and Buzzard. I was trying to photograph a Chiffchaff yesterday but it was just too twiggy and the same with a Blackcap!

    Great images of the Chiffchaff and love the background sky for the Buzzard shots.
