      P1080834.JPG P1080832.JPG P1080830.JPG P1080820.JPG P1080814.JPG P1080813.JPG P1080812.JPG Sorry to be slow at getting them on here but have been very busy doing other stuff which needs my attention:sad:

      Sorry if I don't get them in order but the one with the Mistle Thrush should be first as it was this bird that kept attacking the Waxwings as they were eating his food source and he wasn't too happy about it:snorky:

      We stood for around an hour waiting for them to come back after the lorries frightened them off and we got so cold that by the time we left I could hardly walk as I had seized up with the cold.Also it was a rubbish day with no sun so couldn't get any decent photos of them because of the light.:sad:

                        The 15/20 overwintering Chiffchaffs are still at the sewage works, they will soon be returning to Germany or somewhere and our 'summer' Chiffchaffs will arrive from the Med in a few weeks.The Firecrest showed itself for a second or two, not long enough for a pic.:frown:

                          Lovely pics everyone. :dbgrtmb:

                          @Zigs the only thing that's buzzing or flying about your sheep is the overhead cables. :biggrin: Make her more comfortable and put her in the Land/Water animal thread where she belongs.

                          A little bit of retaliation for pinching my avatar! :whistle: :biggrin:

                            Crows nesting 60ft up just a few feet from the top of the pines. That's supposed to mean we'll have a good summer - I wonder if they've got it right. :)

                            IMG_2737.JPG

                            There are about two dozen crows that roost in the pines but only seem to be four nests there, can anyone say if there is any particular reason for this please?

                              Hi Sheal,

                              They're having to flat share and sofa surf as they can't afford the mortgage on their own place. :roflol:
