Pure joy

It was a bright, clear and chilly day, so we headed off for Moore Nature Reserve to see what was about. There were many others with the same idea, including many in full gear looking for a 'Lesser Spotted...'. Well, we didn't see that, but we did catch a well-marked 'Greater Spotted...' at the feeding station, which was busy with very many small birds, and we finally located the elusive Tawny Owl, roosting in his favourite spot. Thanks to the expert who pointed him out! We also watched a Kestrel over the marshes and the Canada Geese honking at each other in pairs.
But the joy of the day was best summed up by this common-or-garden fella singing his heart out.
