lovely picture SueA

[SueA]

Thanks grindle, I took it on zoom through the patio doors, I think it spotted me as it looks like it's eyeing me up!

[SueA]

Young woodpecker visited this morning, haven't seen one for ages, O.H. thought he'd seen it the other day but wasn't sure, it looks like a young one, didn't get a very good photo as it taken through the window & something spooked the birds & they all flew off.

[grindle]

would love to have one in my garden SueA good photo, I've got a young song thrush coming in the garden, can't get a photo as it's very shy, every time I go to take a picture, it shoots back into the undergrowth

[SueA]

You're lucky to get a thrush grindle, haven't seen one around our garden for years, we see the odd one on the local park & up the moss but they don't seem to venture into our garden.

there's only the one SueA I have no idea where it's come from, we do see the odd ones on the Rec though

[SueA]

A couple of bedraggled little coal tits were visiting the peanut feeder in the rain yesterday:-



We've had a baby woodpigeon hanging around for a few days as well, it seems to have a deformed beak but is managing to feed & can fly so may make it if one of the local cats/sparrowhawks doesn't spot it!

[SueA]

Not seen the baby woodpigeon since so it must have been caught by something.
Lots of baby sparrows & their families visiting though, they're quite cheeky & practically come in the house if the patio doors are open.
Little sparrow eating a sunflower seed on the lawn:-



Similar in looks but not related, baby dunnock on the lawn:-

Most of my birds have flown away. I DO have two sparrows, and a robin, and the occasional Vacuumn Cleaner (wood pigeon).

[SueA]

Our little gang of sparrows are still visiting, they like to fly between the buddleia & the ivy tree. This little cutie was watching me working in the garden yesterday :-

[grindle]

mine are starting to appear again, quite a noise going on yesterday

[SueA]

The sparrowhawk is still flying around here, I saw it zip across the back garden yesterday after what looked like a pigeon/woodpigeon, all the other birds had disappeared apart from one young woodpigeon which was sitting on the lawn looking up stunned as if it was wondering what just happened!

[grindle]

I know it's nature, but I don't like seeing it they are beautiful birds, as long as they aren't in the garden
