Some stunning photos to wake up to this morning! Guy your Goldcrest + especially the Dartford Warbler are stunning; I was lucky to see some on Saturday.
Barbara great to see the Wren in full throttle with the sun shining on it.
John- you must have had good views of these megas- the Pacific Diver shot shows all the diagnostic features; I'd have been happy with those shots! |

My 2 new friends the Robins. I have put out food and they visit me each day and watch me struggling to dig my new veggie patch. I adore Robins and am so pleased they have become regular visitors. We also have lot of Blue Tits which I also love they are so cheeky.
I watched Gay Search on the new "grow your own veg show" and she fed one by hand in her plot, I would love to have "my" Robins do that.

I do not see wagtails too often(except at work where they get killed by CO2)
There is a perkiness to them that is very endearing

Having braved the cold to go to the local shop, I spent sometime indoors watching the birds in the garden and trying to snap them through the window. Some turned out better than others, especially as I had not removed the 1.4 converter and was slightly over-gunned. I too saw a coal tit, which ws an exciting first in our garden. Unfortunately, I could not to the camera quickly enough. However, one I did take is this blackbird. I know we should anthropomorphise, but it looks to me exactly as if he is complaining about his cold feet and treading very gingerly as a result.  |

My birds of the day was when a small flock of gulls were circling above our house calling and clearly arguing over some scrap of food. The sun was warm and if you closed your eyes it felt like the seaside. Couldn't tell what they were, probably first winter black headed around here.
