11/03/2024-Home and Lakeside

Photos taken in this set are of; stunning skimmia in the garden, view at Lakeside including nice blossom, one of the amazing snake's-head fritillaries at Lakeside at lunch time adorned by water droplets, a Chiffchaff I was thrilled to see a couple of flitting around making me hopeful for spring alongside all the flowers around, Canada Geese, an unforgettable sunset to see out a grey day which I had the pleasure of observing with trees against the strip of orange sky on an evening walk at Lakeside and at home and a beautiful orange centred daffodil at Lakeside.

On a super day of seeing a variety of wonderful birds at Lakeside across both my evening and lunch time walks I also loved seeing for the first time for me in one day here fabulous Firecrest in my strong start to the year I've had for them and Goldcrest, my first Reed Bunting here for years a lovely male this evening, Redwing a winter bird I've had a sensational winter for especially here contrasting well the traditional springtime bird Chiffchaff, Great Tit, Robin, Blackbird and Song Thrush on a strong day of thrushes, Magpie, Great Crested Grebe and Moorhen with Wren and Green Woodpecker heard. Periwinkle, laurel, possibly my first blackthorn of the year and intricate turkey tail were good to see too. Jackdaw and House Sparrow were good to see at home today.

REED BUNTING EMBERIZA SCHOENICLUS - Sussex by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: A sparrow-sized bird of reedbeds, wetlands and farmland, the reed bunting feeds on seeds and invertebrates. Reed buntings are streaky, brown birds. The males have black heads and black throats, with a white collar and white ‘moustache’..During the breeding season, males can be spotted perched high on reeds, rushes or scrub, voicing their simple three-note territorial call. Females nest low in the dense vegetation, constructing the nest from grass, reeds and moss.

Common reed bunting Sussex by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Not just a bird of reedbeds, this common species is widely distributed across much of Britain & Ireland throughout the year. It is absent only from the highest upland areas. The male Reed Bunting has a striking black head with a white moustachial stripe; the female has a browner head, but the moustachial stripe is still visible. When perched, both sexes flirt their tail sideways, showing white outer feathers. The male's buzzing call is distinctive. In winter, the Reed Bunting often joins other finches and buntings to feed in arable landscapes.
