BIRDWATCHING

This weekend is the Great British Garden Birdwatch https://www.rspb.org.uk/get-involved/activities/birdwatch/ 

so get counting.

One of the arts of wildlife photography lies in good timing!

Whilst much pecking and feeding goes on above, blackbirds, chaffinches, bramblings

 and our resident mice scavenge on the ground.

Meanwhile above their heads we have a plethora (like that word) of visitors.
 

 Bullfinches and Greenfinches

 House Sparrows and Cock Chaffinches

Starlings and Goldfinches

 Woodpeckers and more Goldfinches







Hen Chaffinches and Siskins










 
Blue Tits and Great Tits







Tree Sparrows and Nuthatches

And then of course the dreaded Grey Squirrel, not to mention Pheasants and Moorhen and Jays and Magpies and so on.

So to other visitors at or near the feeders -

Wood Pigeons and Linnets

Robins and Rabbits

Pheasants of both gender 

Thrushes and Jays






Foxes and Rats

Even big toads.

So to the pond - no, enough! I hear. (And what about the videos of Badgers and Deer and so on.)

And the digging over and weeding and compost spreading goes on, when I can . . .
