Wildlife in the Snow

As it was my Birthday i took the day off work. I was hoping to get to the WWT London Wetland Centre in Barnes, unfortunately due to the snow, public transport was not working particularly well. I decided to keep local and headed to South Norwood Country Park.

It seemed that apart from the ducks who had congregated on the one part of the lake that wasn't iced over much of the smaller birds had taken cover or were foraging away from the normal places I find them.
I caught a glimpse of two Wrens foraging in an open field, they would duck into a break in the snow and hunt around and then pop back out before moving to the next patch.
I managed one quick shot, and then had a go at stalking them. I didn't do it for too long as I didn't want them to waste their energy avoiding me so the first shot was the only one I got.



After feeding the ducks (always a relaxing pastime) I headed home and decided to set up briefly in the garden to catch some garden visitors on snow laden branches. Again I didn;t stay long as I didn't want to stop them feeding (and it was pretty cold).
