Our house is on the River Lambourn and during the heavy snowfall in early March we noticed an unusually high level of bird activity on the opposite bank.

It seemed like a good opportunity to video some familiar and less familiar birds as they foraged for food on along the strip of exposed bank close to the water’s edge.

Thanks to the Penny Post readers who helped me identify the birds – and to our kitten Simba who kept me company while I filmed them…
