Matt’s Bird of the Week – Coal Tit
9 January 2012 // Matt's Bird of the Week
Coal Tit (Periparus ater) Words & picture by Matt Sewell. Like a faded Blue Tit who’s pulled his head out of a bottle of coal dust rather than milk, it’s easy to distinguish him from his brighter Titmouse cousins. Like Goldfinches the Coal Tit prefers to spend his time in great flocks, flitting between woodland, [...]

Matt’s Bird of the Week – Green Woodpecker
21 July 2011 // Matt's Bird of the Week
Green Woodpecker. Words & picture by Matt Sewell. Of the three woodpeckers on the British Isles the green is the most instantly recognisable.
