Feeding the birds in the Lake District, England

Here is a little video shot in the Lake District of wild, but friendly native British birds, feeding at the Sticlebarn Tavern, Great Langdale in the Lake District. The lens also offers a challenge to name the birds feeding. So read on, view the video, and see how many birds you can identify and name; or just sit back and enjoy the video.

And for those who enjoy the delights of feeding wild birds and wildlife then enjoy the collection of associated 'feeding' the 'birds' videos further down this lens.

Challenge Can you name these birds

Birds Native to Britain

Ornithology isn't my forte, it ought to be because I love nature and love filming the wildlife and native wild birds; so I should know these birds in this video featured below, especially as they are birds common to the British Isles and frequently seen in British back gardens. But as lots of birds of the type in the video look similar, without ploughing through loads of web pages trying to positively identify them all with certainty, I'd not want to start naming them here or on the video only to find that I've incorrectly named them, I thought it would be a good challenge for budding bird enthusiast to name them correctly.

Therefore the challenge of this lens is to see how many people can correctly name these birds in the video, and then once I've got enough feedback I can update the information here and on the video for the benefit of others.

View from Sticklebarn Tavern

The Lake District, England

These birds were filmed feeding at Sticklebarn Tavern, Great Langdale, Ambleside, in the Lake District, England.

Sticklebarn Tavern is a popular pub in the midst (or should I say heights) of the Lake District open seven days a week and for the weary traveller does excellent pub food. It's located just a ten minutes' walk away from the Great Langdale Campsite run by the National Trust so ideally situated for campers using this site.

It's located high-up in the Lake District with open countryside all around and an excellent view of the surrounding mountains so it makes for a very pleasant stop for anyone passing by; and having been there I highly recommend it. Great Langdale is a valley just two miles from the town of Ambleside which is on the edge of Lake Windermere; the largest natural lake in England.

Are you a Birdwatcher or a Twitcher

Ornithology

Not sure how well known the word is in America but in Britain a Twitcher is one who flocks to an area where a rate bird is known to be in the hope of seeing it for themselves; as opposed to a birdwatcher who just loves watching birds.
