A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Swithland Woods - 20 February 2013

There was a cold wind through the Swithland Woods and I think most of the small birds were hunkered down to keep warm.

Robins can usually be relied on to make an appearance and this one didn't disappoint. The light was dropping off so I had to up the iso and hope.

A Nuthatch soon followed the Robin and enjoyed the feast

It wasn't long before a second Nuthatch joined in and helped his/her self. They are so fast. it's like a dart coming in from each side.

They know what they like and are prepared to search for it.
