After seeing a Goldcrest in the garden again this morning, I wasn't expecting this!!
A Firecrest appeared but too fast to get a decent shot.

 

@strongylodon Im also so fortunate to have them visit my garden too, they are very quick as you say so well done for getting any piccy of them - trust me i have tried and my shots are rubbish with a capital R .........My garden has been a hive of activity today so many varieties of birds feasting on the spent seedheads of perennials, wildflowers, and grasses.
It's been a pleasure to watch them filling themselves up as we have another cold night ahead bless um

 

Marsh harrier mobbed by a Crow.




Scaring the Avocets.

 

Lovely pics again @strongylodon @wiseowl @redstar
GCer's I thought to share one of my subscribed YOUtube saved vids - I Love this video of Marsh harriers so special to be able to see them building their nests - I always find it amazing that they choose to ground nest

@strongylodon

But my FAV has to be this one - We really need a GC CAPTION THREAD for this photo...

This shot is breath taking!!!

 

Nobody likes the pork crackling in this house so the birds got it.
Edit: Just noticed the Blue Tit is a rung bird.

 

If you like Pipe Fish look no further!!

Cormorant at Poole Quay, I saw it between two boats struggling with something, then I saw it was a Pipefish possibly a Snake Pipefish (@Zigs?).












All gone!
