Birding at Whetstone park

The weather warmed up a bit on Sunday and so Steve and I took Emma on a walk at Whetstone. We stopped at the bird feeder to see if there was any action going on, and there were a lot of birds taking advantage of the nicer weather. I also tried out my new camera and lens - a Canon Rebel XTi and 300 mm zoom with IS.

This time of year they have plenty to say.

Hmmmmm - the beavers are coming up from the river to munch on some trees.
