What's buzzing or flying near you 2022 ?

Cute Woo but what are they?

 

We had Cormorants on the Isle of Wight.

 

Our pair of Siskins are visiting 3/4 times a day.

 

I have a couple of pairs of Siskins here at the moment Strongy. They're tough birds and don't mind fighting off the finches which are bigger, to get to the feeders.

 

The Red Breasted Merganser is still on Poole Park lake and due to the lower water level a few Godwits were feeding on the mud.

 

Curlew.

 

First Brambling I have seen in about four years! A nice male.

 

He is a very handsome boy.

 

After a couple of months in hiding somewhere in Dorset, these three Tundra Bean Geese reappeared here yesterday. In the next week or so they will probably head off home to Siberia.
Not particularly colourful birds but nice to see such rare visitors.
Unlike me they seemed oblivious to the rain.

 

Jackdaw, dunnock and a rather plump pheasant. All taken through rather rainy windows.

 

It looks like it is about to explode! Actually looks like me when I feel gassy!

 

He's fluffed his feathers up to hold body heat in. They also do that when they are showing off to a potential mate.

Lots of Winter visiting ducks still around at Longham Lakes.
