Cromwell Bottom - Local Nature Reserve

Had a wander down to Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve, it's now one of my new favourite places. If you haven't been before, I can thoroughly recommend it.

I was only down there for about an hour and it was raining on and off, but did managed to snap this lot...

A Jay calling for its mate

Bullfinch

Plenty of finch activity at the bird feeding station

Robin in the rain

a soaked Chaffinch

Robins always love to pose for you

A Coot down by the reed bed

A pair of Canada Geese on the canal

A Mallard on the canal hiding in the reeds

I didn't spot the birdfeeders when I parked up, but they are in the carpark and when I came back managed to snap this pair of Long Tailed Tits grabbing their breakfast

Just about to leave and a Nuthatch popped down for a bite

My first visit, but I'll now soon be a regular, I can't believe I never even knew the place existed.
