Today was the first time my wife and I set out on a walk with the express intention of seeing what birds we could spot.
We went to Brockholes in Lancashire, and throughly enjoyed several hours on a gloriously bright, and unexpectedly mild day.
What did we see? No idea!
Well, ok, we saw magpies, nuthatches, blue tits, a Dunnock (first time I’ve knowingly seen one!), a kestrel, robins, and loads of things I couldn’t identify.
I couldn’t identify anything out on the water, as they were all too far away, we don’t yet have any binoculars, and I couldn’t get a clear shot with the camera.
So, I think the next step is to invest in some bins, practice using a field guide, and get out a whole lot more!
