WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2018

It needs a dietician @Zigs

 

Belle loves a cuddle & a kiss , she follows me around the garden until I pick her up for a cuddle

 

Egyptian Geese, now classed as a non native feral bird as they have come from wildfowl collections in the past and are now establishing themselves around the country.
The white headed one is just a variation and not a sex differetiation.




Reed Bunting.

 

Beautiful pic's as always @strongylodon

 

First chaffinch of the year on the feeder today

 

On the cliffs at Durlston Country Park (Swanage)
Fulmar Petrels.




Distant Peregrine.


Firecrest, so fast moving and difficult to follow!

 

That's one excellent camera you have @strongylodon with such clean exposure plus showing the colour beauty of the birds

 

They were taken with my old Panasonic fz150 I didn't use the Nikon dslr as, even with a 300mm lens, it hasn't the same reach!

 

@strongylodon i've never really been in to using camera's...that's my hubbies liking, i mainly use my phone but the camera's you do use take smashing shots

 

Blashford Lakes (near Ringwood, Hampshire) this morning in the cold and wind, very little to see on the lakes except half a dozen Sand Martins which have just arrived from Africa and were, I imagine, struggling to find any insects out on the water in the freezing cold, so we stayed around the woodland hide and this time had better views of the, soon to be departing, Bramblings.
Female.




Male






female Brambling and Chaffinch.

 

We have had a male and female Siskin nearly every day since New Year but today another male turned up.

 

Beautiful as always @strongylodon

 

Little Ringed Plover, unlike the resident Ringed Plover, this one has to over winter in Africa and has just recently arrived.

 

A couple of shots from near Filey today whats the little bird please stone chat ??.

 

Ace capture @martin-f ....i hope you was careful hanging from that cliff
