Garden birds

I have had a bird feeding station set up in my front garden for as long as I can remember, and I am lucky to live near a woodland and so many of our woodland bird species visit my feeder regularly - unfortunately due to work and other commitments garden photography is as interesting as it is going to get for me until the New Year.

I decided that it was time to make a hide.. and set up some perches. I constructed the hide from 3 delivery pallets, 2 sides, and a front, the front side I sawed the top third off. I nailed these together and have attached a large scrim net to cover the top sides and front leaving a gap large enough for my lens to poke through.

The hide is situated around 6m away from the perches.

Here are some of the results so far.

With some luck birds such as great spotted woodpeckers, nuthatches and treecreepers will start making more appearances once they have grown accustomed to the hide.

If anyone is interested I will post pictures of the hide set-up.
