What's Buzzin' or Flying Near You Today..? MK 3..

The jay came back at the weekend - he usually turns up when I've not got the camera in my hand but this time managed a quick photo through the window.

 

Smashin' piccie Chiaroscuro,
thank you,
Jenny

 

Thanks!

 

How pretty.

 

2 hours - sheer luxurious magic Armandii. You must feel really good tonight.
Thanks for sharing your piccies with us today,
Jenny

 

Not short on vocals is he - Mr Blackie !!

 

Super series of photos Armandii. We had a blackbird on the window feeder today giving an open-beak warning to a starling that had come to tuck in too. No camera to hand of course !
We'd heavy snow yesterday so I topped up the fat ball feeder with five balls - they've gone already!

 

I actually had the garden window open for an hour this afternoon - it was so good to hear birdsong out there. When you seal the weather out over Winter, you tend to think it's not going on out there. I will try and get outside for longer tomorrow. We have a beautiful thrush who comes right up to the patio door step 'cos I put out a mix of suet and Lidyls 50/50% luxury fruit and nut mix. There's a right scrappin' going on first thing! If you talk in bed, the blackies fly up to the bedroom window - looking in and making their presence known!
Had a handsome male siskin on the niger seeds the other morning. I must try and find time to look out for him and get a piccie ( hopefully),
Jenny

 

No shortage of blackbirds here. We've now about 5 or 6, some are last year's fledged. When we get up in the morning and go into the kitchen we're greeted by a couple looking in the window waiting for raisins to be put out. Females are quite bossy (no comment). One male is very tame and we have to watch our feet when outside as he's in danger of getting a kick in the beak as he gets so close! Grandaughter was wanting to stroke him today.
