Mandarin duck have established a wild population in the UK and Yarner wood is one of their breeding locations, they generally nest in tree hollows but have a tendency to use the Tawny Owl boxes at Yarner.
Siskin are a regular winter visitor, this female performed well for the camera.
Love these Nuthatch, they nest in holes in tree's reducing the size of the holes with mud, just enough for their body size.
Winter and Spring on the Somerset Levels 24/25.
