Of course, one hates to brag!! My bird of the day today has to be the two swans in the field two over from my house. I opened my curtains this morning and blearily saw white two fields away, found the binos.. and yes... there are two swans a sitting. To far away to tell what they are unfortunatly. What a wonderful start to the day! My guess is they are wind battered and resting.
jaki 
the really amazing thing is they have settled in the tiny area of the field i can see from my window!!

No birds at all so far today as the garden is overrun by squirrels. I think the resident four must have relatives visiting for the weekend - at least I hope it's only for the weekend  |

A green woodpecker just shot through! I hope he's checking us out for a return visit!

Came out of my friends drive and was barely straight on the road and saw a Barn Owl... went down the river through the town and around to the other side of the river... and saw a Barn Owl. I suspect it was the same one, as he eventualy crossed back over the river. (wish I could cross at that point... would save me ten miles every trip!!!)

Mr and Mrs Green Woodpecker visited today, both at the same time but kept 3 metres apart (family tiff maybe?)

My bird of the day has to be the reed bunting. I saw a few yesterday and they are lovely little things. It was nice to see something a bit different to my standard garden birds. |

Were they in your garden, Susie? How lovely. You lucky girl!
They look like sparrows at a masked ball!

Unfortunately not in my garden but not too far away.
I like your description of them - very fitting. |

My bird of the day today is a House Sparrow! Ta da-da-da da-di DAH!
First I've seen here, and I've been so sad that I haven't seen any.
But today I have one. Hoorah!
