Very poor on the Access trail today, with no finches in the alders. However there were great tits and blue tits in the plum hedge, blackbirds in the undergrowth and hedges, a robin singing by the gipsy heap and wood pigeons flying fast around the area.
Its still very wet underfoot, as bad if not even worse than yesterday. Here is the only nearly worthwhile picture of the day, of a Great Tit, Parus major. If you look closely at the eye, you can see that the lower margin of the eye ring is actually white, the same as the cheek patch beneath it. This appears to be standard in the species. The beak appears very solid in close-up. The underbelly black stripe is nicely broad as you would expect in the subspecies newtowni, and you can see a black splodge under the tail bump as well, also standard in the species. The photo is fairly well coloured for the distance and the very poor light.
