The
webcam pictures will show a range of our most popular garden visitors,
as well as willow tits and the occasional tree sparrow.
The
image will refresh approximately every 30 minutes during daylight
hours.
Both
the willow tit and tree sparrow were 'red listed' as being of high
conservation concern in the Population Status of Birds in the UK
survey published in 2002.
But
despite their scarcity, the willow tit and tree sparrow are part
of the wide diversity of wildlife which can be found at Fairburn
Ings throughout the year.
Find
out more about birds in Britain, including those that you could
see on the webcam with the feature on the RSPB website.
The
Fairburn Ings RSPB Nature Reserve covers 700 acres and includes
open water, marshland, wet meadows and small areas of reed bed.
The
reserve is an ideal place to see waterbirds at close quarters throughout
the year. In winter the large numbers of wildfowl include up to
100 whooper swans and in summer breeding waders include redshanks,
snipe and lapwings.
In
spring and autumn, migrants such as black terns, little gulls and
yellow wagtails may call in. These bird feeders are situated close
to the reserve visitors centre.
