Just a quick post before I get stuck into sorting through my images from our cruise So, just before myself and the good lady went on our cruise down to the Canaries and the Mediterranean which started on the 12th of January, John Hague [Shrike Birding Tours] Dave Gray and I had a trip to Derbyshire in search of a few year ticks. First stop was Cromford - a good area for Hawfinch and Dipper; sadly neither was seen, but great to watch some Long-tailed Tits and Siskin busily feeding away.
It was then on to Darley Dale to try again for Hawfinch and this time we were successful, with two birds feeding at the church yard.
We then ended out little tour of Derbyshire at Straw Bridge LNR where a Ring-necked Duck had been frequenting. This bird showed ridiculously close - down to 15 feet at times, the best views I have had of this species.
Once I've sorted through the images from our cruise, I'll put a post on about our trip. It wasn't a birding trip, just a few images from when I had my camera with me.
As always thanks for stopping by.
