This House Sparrow spent a good 10 minutes having a bath, loved getting to watch and capture this little dude
Muted the video due to my pup barking in the background lol
Also didn't realise quite how massive ravens are, this one was taken from across a field.
I hear both types of thrushes in my garden...but despite seeing the song thrushes all over the place I've never seen the mistle...until now! Or at least I THINK I have! I think the first two pictures are of a song thrush and the last two are of a mistle. What do you think?
Sorry about the poor pictures. But I saw this bird on my way to the car this morning. I live in the East Midlands and have never seen a bird like this around here.
Just wanted to share my favourite garden visitor with people who’ll appreciate it 😍. A pair of them visit semi regularly which always brightens my day!
Posted yesterday asking for identification of a bird that came into my yard. Thanks for all the responses. A goldcrest, apparently quite rare, and difficult to photograph.
Anyway, he came back today, so here's a few more pics I took. If any look a bit odd, it was through the kitchen window, so there may be some reflection
Saw a couple late April but since then I have seen none. 😧
Usually have them screaming around, feeding over the local pond but so far zippo.
Any of you got them back as normal?
All taken in the wooded area behind my house, I spent hours listening to blackcaps just meters away but I couldn’t spot any through the bushes 🥹
I didn’t see any of the willow warblers I was hearing until I was nearly home and had given up, then I thought these pictures were awful but they’ve turned out alright :)
Taken on Nikon D60 which was a struggle. Since I’ve started shooting in RAW or FINE other than normal it’s been taking four or five seconds to take photos even in burst mode. I always shoot in auto mode because I’m not a photographer, just a birder with a hand me down camera. Any tips would be great!
I've recently bought a bird mini bird bath to hopefully attract Chiffchaffs as I hear them all day long but I've never once saw them in my garden. Do we think this could be a chiffchaff?
A delicious Goldcrest spied in West London. A little reward for me taking out the recycling.
