Frampton Avocet
RSPB Frampton Marsh is one our favourite haunts with Avocets all year round on the various lagoons. To think that when I was little these were top points of rarity on my brother's RSPB Conservation Board Game (along with Ospreys, Red Kites and Red Necked Phalarope I seem to remember!)

Blithe Spirit
Skylarks are one of the soundtracks of summer but are so often hidden in the grass or a speck in the sky. I am grateful to Jan Burgess for letting me use her wonderful photo as a reference for this.

Autumn Glory

Always a Dunnock
There is always a Dunnock outside my kitchen window - all months, all times of day. Always. I am sure they are related to mice the way they move around under the plants.

An irresistible combo - luckily our local woods - which are mostly oak and birch, have more than their fair share of Treecreepers nipping around.

Fireweed Wren
Rosebay Willowherb is supposedly also known as fireweed because of its ability to colonise burnt ground. I can't help but wonder if the colours of the bright autumn leaves could also be a reason. I spotted this wren hopping amongst the empty flower stalks when I was out blackberrying last autumn.
