Visitor brought in by the cold, I think.

We see these regularly, flying over the garden and in a local park, but not in the garden.

I'm guessing it was attracted by the small amount of water kept open by a pump in pond.

Not the greatest of photos as they were taken through a window.

Love your garden Tringa. Lots of trees!

[solus]

Now I would like to see that hanging from the feeders!

[Tringa]

Thanks Farplace. Most of the back gardens in the road are similar so we get a good few hedgrow and woodland birds, and today - a heron.

Lol, Solus. That was the discussion I had with my daughter - if it could it hang on the bottom of the feeder it could get the seeds easily.

Now that would be a photo to have!

if a feeder was low enough it wouldn't have to perch on it ...
