That's one of the back feed stations, another beside it, and 2 at the front

Nice shots Ron and that looks like a pretty useful little camera.

We have our bird feeder hanging just outside our dining room window, so I can take photos while sitting in comfort.
This is an American Goldfinch that stopped by for breakfast this morning.

He’s a stunner John. As I’ve said before, you get some colourful birds in your neck of the woods.....

John. I caught a pic of one of those yellow Finches last year about this time at my feeder but I’ve lost the pic.

Steve. Nice. If he eats all that I doubt if he could fly. Lol

More dining room visitors. This is a female Oriole. She appears to be madly jealous of her reflection in the dining room window since she repeatedly throws herself against the glass. Never could understand women.

There was a pied wagtail around here that used to do something similar last year John. He used to sit on the wing mirror of my car, see his own reflection in the passenger side window, and attack it.....he did that time after time. Before I saw him do it I used to wonder what the marks on my passenger window were and where they came from.......

[GerryW]

Just had two stock doves in the garden, grabbed the phone to take a photo only to see them hightailing over the hedge!
Must admit that the first time that I saw one, thought that it was a young wood pigeon, as very similar, but no white collar.

Came across these last night, whilst we were looking at our snaps from our holiday on Guernsey in 2014.



Spotted this way down a track.


This 'family' were wandering along a beach totally oblivious to any humans.....i.d. please?




Cheers,

The warbler is a chiffchaff, and the falcon is a female Kestrel. Still looking for the duck!

That’s a mallard Ron, a mum and four (edited cos I can’t count ) immature males (are males ever mature?).

I can see why some people love bird watching and fishing, but neither is for me.
