Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby

Well that’s me shot down for missing out a comma!

I think from now on I'd best put on my 'Serious Head' and keep below the parapet.....

You mean below the parakeet? :tongue-out3:

Just sitting beside a pond, and these are wandering around, there's another group, but with 9 ducklings in it.

We just came back from a swim, this had obviously been surveying the valley in our absence.

All credit to Carol for nailing the shot.

Parent brought one of their young, the second came a little later (didn't get a photo of the pair though)

Great to see folks mucking in with their 'Birdie' pictures.

It's all been happening at our place....

Young Robin.


A trusting young Tit- So far....


A young Song Thrush. We were lucky to have a clutch of four of these reared this year, and I was lucky enough to get a snap of all of them together.....I'll post this later.


A very young Great Tit.

That Robin is a pretty scruffy specimen!

Its a little bit of a cheat, but it is our garden and it is a bird.

One of our Muscovys has been getting out. She's clipped, and we thought we'd solved it when we saw her pushing under the wire. We sorted that out, but still she escapes.

Turns out she climbs, perches & leaps. Not very duck-like. The Collie, though keen to earn her keep, is not sure if chasing ducks up fences is within her job description....

My cousin had a Muscovy it was so mean and would chase me and bite me and it hurt I hated that duck.
