WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2020

Yes, I did eddybaby and I find that Robins are also the last to bed down at night. The little fellow above is often looking for a morsel to eat past dusk.

I've seen your Robins Lori and yes, they are quite a bit different to ours. A picture when the time comes will be appreciated.

This is an old picture but I had two pairs of Yellowhammers visiting yesterday, a bird not very often seen in gardens.

 

Ringed Plover.

 

I receive trivia emails and this one transmitted to me this morning:

"A group of owls is called, depending on the region you’re in, a parliament, a wisdom, a bazaar, or a study."

What are a group of owls called over there?

Just curious. Thank you

 

Thank you @wiseowl . I figured You would know the answer to that!

 

Female Bullfinch.


Siskins are coming more regularly now but only one pair so far.


Stock Dove at Upton Country Park near Poole, not a common bird and very rarely comes near gardens. It has a 'kinder' face than the wood Pigeon,

 

Although more common than the Grey Heron now, this Little Egret had such a striking pose that I couldn't resist a shot or two.

 

@strongylodon I wish we had a "wow" rating button. Beautiful!

 

His feet look like an afterthought.

This is amongst the smiley's @CanadianLori -

 

Avocet, (one of 700+ in the harbour), another beauty from Brownsea Island this morning, stopped there for two hours during a Poole Harbour 4hr bird boat tour. The island is closed to the public from November the end of February (except for the bird boats).

 

Not sure if it's early or late, but had Ladybird crawling around on the outside of a window

 

Ring-Billed Gull hang-gliding.

 

That's a lovely shot Hydrogardener.
