Goldfinch

The weather was too grey and overcast to show the colours of this tree full of goldfinches properly. But it was nice to see them!

Mallards

Ring Necked Parrakeet

Thoroughly naturalised.

Greater Spotted Woodpecker

It was pretty quiet in the Aquadrome today, but we did see a couple of Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, drumming away.

Greylag goose

I was away this weekend, so Paul was walking and taking pictures without me. I thought this was stunning - at the Aquadrome there is a greylag who hangs out with the Canadian geese - but he is unhappy with the picture because of the subdued quality of the light.
