In Alder Carr - the area of wet woodland at Lackford Lakes - there is the Stump. This is the remains of a tree - a stump - lying on its side beside the path.
This stump is famous for its photography opportunities. Over the years photographers have been putting seed out on the Stump to entice birds down to feed and be photographed.
So it happens when seed is put down on the Stump birds will automatically come down, straight away, and within arm's distance, they don't seem to be bothered with any onlookers.
The boss of the Stump is this fearsome BLACKBIRD

You can see the seed put out for this GREAT TIT
The more dainty COAL TIT had to wait its turn before feeding on the Stump
This DUNNOCK more staid in its plumage but still handsome
So one of the delights of Lackford Lakes, the Stump is definitely worth a look just because good photos are almost guaranteed, something that is rare in nature.
