Squirrels plus Wren













I managed to get down to the reserve for a couple of hours this morning, once again a beautiful morning after a frosty start. lots of squirrels about today, I managed to get several shots in nice light, so I was pleased with that. Also found another Wren busy hunting insects in the dry grasses.
I got slightly closer than on my last attempt at photographing them, but I would still like to get closer still. maybe next time.

Wren


Had the day off today so went to spend some time at the nature reserve, it turned out to be a lovely day after a frosty start. Their seemed to be definite signs of spring, with the Rooks and Jackdaws busy with bits of twigs for nest building. Also their was a lot of these Wrens about, singing their hearts out, not sure if this is to attract others, or to keep other males away from their territory.
