Burnham Beeches

A late-afternoon visit brought at least five bullfinches feeding in birch and rowan trees. Usually in the Beeches, I just hear them calling from dense stands of holly - so it was a treat to see them in the open.


There were so many wood pigeons that I wonder if a migrating flock had descended on the woods. Almost every step I took, there was a rapid and disconcerting flapping overhead as probably hundreds of birds were flushed from the canopy. Nuthatches and coal tits were also seen, and a marsh tit was heard calling.
