What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

Looks like the seal's having fish tonight, nice picture Woo

 

Lots of bird song out at Swineham Point (where the river Frome empties into Poole Harbour) but unsurprisingly, due to the cold, most were skulking amongst the hedges and reeds. Chiffchaffs, Cettis Warblers and Reed Buntings were in full song. Only one Marsh Harrier seen briefly and my first Wheatear this Spring.
Chiffchaff.




Skulking male Reed Bunting.


Male Wheatear.

 

First thing this morning on my 'feeding station' there were,Goldfinches,Greenfinches(glad to see they're back,in large numbers too)A Robin,Blue Tit and Black Cap and on the ground underneath,Sparrows,Starlings and Stoggies...all at the same time..it was pointless me grabbing the camera as they'd have been off...but what a great selection to look at

 

What are stoggies ???? me not know thank you

 

Morning Jiffy, Stoggies are Yorkshire for Wood pigeon and their chicks are Squeakers

I 've grabbed a quick shot of a pair of Robins...it could have been a good picture but i had to break them up as it was getting way too vicious ....got soggy slippers now

 

Me understand now

 

7 Spot Ladybirds

 

It's before the water shed

 

Little robin and wren are having some singing competitions these days. They really sing their heads off








She has some babies to feed so she followed me about while I worked and came within a few inches of me. As a result it was quite difficult to take a good picture of her since she was just too close to the camera

 

Lovely pictures Hsuh! Aren't the birds a joy to listen to at the moment?

 

Had a bit of competition for the reduced bakery products at Tescos this morning

 

Every evening we are graced with a short visit from this delightful bird. Very shy and won't stay long and is easily put off by bossy magpies and burly wood pigeons but he warms my heart. Think it's a Mistle thrush,
