Wildlife Corner

I dont think ive seen one this early strongylodon. I hope its a sign of spring

Another wicked photo Dave... Brilliant to see.. :D

thanks walnut,these guys just love this elephant, they go around asking people for money when you take pics but i guess it takes a lot of money and care to look after her.

OK ... I have just looked up my bird books and I am now convinced that it is, in fact, a female Now I am on the lookout for a male

1 wood pigeon 1 great tit 1 blackbird 1 parakeet :eek:Although usually where there's one parakeet there are soon a dozen, so I'm rather glad that didn't happen today as I expect the RSPB would think I was taking the mickey.I heard loads of birds, but they were away in someone else's...

I wellied an 8footish length of wood (recycled from a former lawn edge) into the ground, and secured with earth and stones, then screwed hanging basket brackets to the top couple of feet, on all four sides. A little lower, I used a shelf bracket to attach the table my son had made at an RSPB...

No Pete ... I am seeing young birds still about [ 24. January 2008, 09:38 AM: Message edited by: whis4ey ]

Perhaps you could have a go at getting some Long Tailed Tits please...gorgeous little birds aren't they... but I wonder if they would stay still long enough for you to photograph one????? Good luck if you try!!!!!

Our robins tend to sit on the street light and sing away as though it is dawn..although it is actually dark still. Good photo by the way...breast is a lovely colur.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iMKjxMCNnjw there was one but a different one to the one i had seen, how many people have had there head stuck up elephants bums i ask myself? :eek:

Woo I have a Canon 70-300mm IS What I have done is to move a large pot with a Sumoch nearer to the kitchen window. The birds don't seem to see me any more I am probably now too close, as the head is in focus and the tail is not on some of my shots This is a cropped view

I'll share my corned beef any day with him ...

Well captured Walnut.

Yes they are degus , I saw some on the BBC 2 programme `Wildlife Park` the other day.

Thanks again everybody. So glad you all seem to enjoy it LOL ... I am sure we could find a Guinness and a Jamesons McCoubrey's opens again around May

Great shots Strongy.

Smashing pics Whis4ey...

I will be keeping an eye on it Whis4ey.

The dunnock is one of my favourite garden birds. The best way I could it would be, about the same size and shape as a robin and colours like those of a sparrow but with a darkish grey breast.It likes to feed on the ground and has a lovely song which it sings from hedge and tree branches....
