This is part of Strensall Common, one of the many areas of common land around the city of York. I used to live near here and this lane was a regular walk on my local birdwatching 'patch'. As I stood here this week and took this photo I could hear in the trees and fields all around me the song or call of Blue Tit, Great Tit, Longtailed Tit, Blackbird, Rook, Robin, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Dunnock, Collared Dove, Treecreeper, Song Thrush and a distant Green Woodpecker. I think spring is just around that corner at the top of this lane.
I ban almost hear the birds.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have to know your birds well to be able to decipher their songs and tell who sang what.
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear all those birds! Spring may be near but no leaves on the trees yet!
