Grass Snakes

We were lucky to see these two mating, we had never seen this before in the wild.

Adder

We had 3 sightings today in the sunshine, though they were quite quick and active, managed to capture this one as it skulked through the heath

Slow-Worm

We saw a couple of these

Goldcrest

A pair of these today in my local park, light not ideal and the branches got in the way!

Barn Owl

What a beauty!

Winter Scenes

Easter Sunday brought heavy snow, beautiful walk in the local park

Great Crested Grebe

A pair of these locally, beautiful plumage!

Great Spotted Woodpecker

Great views of this lovely chap today!

Water Vole

At last our much loved "Ratty" is a fully protected species and about time too! Such a wonderful little creature. This one is on our local patch and always a pleasure to see!

A few local birds

Shown here are blut tit, house sparrow, tree sparrow and lesser redpoll

Female Reed Bunting

Quite a confiding little bird!

Goa In February

Recently returned from Goa holiday, lots of birds and wildlife seen. Below are some pics of them, we managed to identify most of them but please correct us if we have made any mistakes!
We would recommend anyone interested in birds to visit this wonderful place in India. Its awesome! Enjoy the photos!

Brown Breasted Flycatcher

This cute little bird was quite undisturbed by us. It is a similar bird to the Asian Brown Flycatcher, however this species has a totally pale lower mandible but the Brown one has only a pale base to the lower mandible

White Faced Langur Monkeys

These were very confiding and happy to take food from us

Flameback Woodpecker

This woodpecker was very high up so cropped images.

Jungle Minah

These were seen regularly both in small and large flocks
