From then on it was all down hill, apart from the Fieldfares.
Nice to bump into Viv, we don't see him around enough. He is surely one of
Cornwall's finest birders.

Since having to cut down the Cherry tree last autumn, our garden birds have dropped substantially, however since the snow, some have been coming back to the feeders, and we have had a pair of Bullfinches visiting for the past week and on one day we had 2 pairs together. When we had the Cherry tree we were lucky to get one visit a year from Bullfinches.
Greenfinches and Siskins still seem to be thin on the ground, and no Brambling yet.
Well done Guys. Great Bittern shots.....you'll see them everywhere now!!
ReplyDeleteAbout time too!! kidding
ReplyDeletegreat shots well done, i like the second starling
Great shots John good to see you have some brilliant pictures of the Bittern like the Bullfinch too
ReplyDeleteWow Mamma mia, what a set of pictures again. I guess you were very happy about the bittern, but what can we say about the others... The bullfinch shots are wonderful! Just as the one of the fieldfare... Gosh this is a very impressive collection of pictures... Well done!
ReplyDeleteWell done John. It was only a few days since we joined the club (Marazion also) but since then we have seen two more last weekend. Brilliant shots as usual.

Great finding the bittern! I have seen both of our US bitterns, but it has been many years since I saw either. Your header photo is completely awesome BTW
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the bittern. Wish I could find them up my way.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you caught up with the Bitterns folks, and some fab shots as well. Bullfinch shots are stunners. Yep I caught up with Viv over the last two weekends and Its always a pleasure, He's forgotten more about birds than I'll ever know.
ReplyDeleteFantastic bittern images - jealous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of shots! Congrats on finding the Bittern. The shots of the Starlings are supurb, as are the Bullfinch shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat set. Bittern's the show stealer, naturally. lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, all of them. Love the starlings, such detail. Top notch.
ReplyDeleteThey're all wonderful shots. I really like the Starlings - so colorful.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for all your comments.
ReplyDeleteWe have realised that our latest posting makes it sound like this is our first ever Bittern, when in fact we have seen and photographed several over the years and even had the Little Bittern at Swanpool in 2003.It is only the recent Marazion Bitterns that have eluded us.
Sue and John
Another great selection of images, although I have seen the Bittern several times it has eluded my camera. Hope to see you for longer next time I see you out. You should join the CWT Camera club.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the bittern! and beautiful photos also ! Bitterns are so hard to get photos of (i think !). Great post :)
ReplyDeleteSo you are coming around in March. I guess your days are quite organized, isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you want some information!!
Great shots guys. Loving the Bittern and the Blackcap.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos! I have yet to see a bittern although I frequent their habitat. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLove the Bittern shots John and great Bullfinches. Nice to see those Starlings getting a look-in too!
ReplyDeleteSuch captivating bird photos... one is always guaranteed a good viewing on your blog! Fantastic shots. The birds are so beautiful and the color details in their feathers are very striking. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. I have not seen any Brambling yet either.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. We had Fieldfares around our garden during the snow, that is the first time we have actually seen them. A flock of around 30 visited for just a couple of days and then were gone.
