Here they have the good reason of picking up grit. But previously I've only seen them on the ground when they were collecting feathers for their nests.<br /><br />Mostly they are high in the treetops. But there are several places in the park where a line of trees is interrupted by lower bushes, and you can photograph them as the moving flock crosses the gap. Like Goldcrests, they are not shy, and don't react when you point a camera at them.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-16317855017410387782019-02-05T23:58:50.303+00:002019-02-05T23:58:50.303+00:00Dunno.

The Gull swooping down looked menancing enough, doubtless more so from the point of view of the Grebe, and that's taking into account that it is a smaller gull.<br /><br />Egyptians are hopeless.<br /><br />So many Long-Tailed Tits on the ground! That is a sight to see. I normally work myself into a neckache by craning my neck as high as it'd go just to have a good look at them. Imagine having them about one'e feet!TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
