At 1pm today (Sat 4 Jan 2025) I joined the Denso Marston Nature Reserve warden for a walk around the reserve during which he told us about the various alternative names of birds we might see on the reserve.
As usual you can tap/touch/click on an image, not its caption, to see it in better quality in the gallery. You can also leave comments or subscribe to the site – leave your email address and you will get notified when I publish something new.
Blackcap, Hedge Accentor etc.
Apparently Blackcap is an old name for Bullfinch, amongst others so I can say we saw a Blackcap on the reserve today. We also saw several Dunnocks AKA Hedge Sparrow, Hedge Accentor.
I know some of the photos are not sharp but that doesn’t surprise me considering how grey and cold the day was. The camera attempts to make a suitably bright photo so in some of them it looks like a nice day.
