Your spotted Flycatcher image is actually a Chiffchaff

Hi Darrell The photographs of the Stonechat and Great Spotted Woodpeckers were great. We have never seen a Stonechat but we keep looking. Thanks Jon and Sandra

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I seem to be seeing a lot of new species recently. Whether it is just luck or down to being more aware I can't tell .

[@garywebster8355]

Well done for the stone chat a first is always good 👍.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I have had quite a few firsts this summer.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

wonderful images as ever! Thank you

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Thank you Patrick. I enjoyed this reserve.

[@denisesavage2382]

Lovely that you got to see the stone chat as one you hadn't photographed before. That's always a bonus and a buzz. The dragonfly images with their detail were stunning too. Looks like a lovely reserve to just sit and be for a bit! I hope you've had a chance to catch your breath after so much videoing.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Thanks Denise. This was a lovely little reserve and some great sightings.

[@SkylarkFields]

What a great place that looks and as always your photos are lovely! Thanks for taking us along with you!

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

It was a great place - compact, but lots to see.

Thank you Rod

Watched your video whilst having breakfast, really brightened up my morning, then to my delight two greater spotted woodpeckers came to the feeders, can’t ask for a better way to start my day.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Wonderful! We get them in our back garden, but I don't often see two at once.

[@debbiesmith2332]

Really enjoyed this video and look forward to the next one. Woodland birds are my favourite to photograph - loved the shots at the end!

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Thank you Debbie. I do like walking around a woodland.

This is near to us & visit the place most weeks, I can actually get round it on my mobility scooter.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I was a lovely reserve and a great end to my few days away.
