Leathe's Ham and Pathways.

Leathe's Ham:  After a near miss yesterday while being out and no tweet coming through about the PENDULINE TIT at Leath's Ham. Well done to (@Leostof ) At least I did not get wet while watching the bird. On arrival it had been seen some 10 minuets earlier, so there was a chance. After a short time while standing with John E, I hard it all. Turned to John and he agreed by making hp whistle of the bird himself. The bird called from our right and I was looking at the bulrush heads when I glimpsed a bird fly over the path from the small trees in front of us. The call went up and a scramble up the 20 foot bank behind us. The bird was in top of a Hawthorne tree hidden partially by ivy. Popping up on occasions but very agitated. After some 5 minuets it flew back down to feed on the heads again. Any pic would be difficult because of light in front of me and also with over hanging willow, it was difficult t got a shot, but at least it was there. So what follows is the best I have.

Pathways:  Best here today was a pair of BULLFINCH feeding on the petals from and flowering blackthorn. Again difficult to get a shot but made one anyway.
