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

I'd love to see one of those in my garden. I've never seen one while out and about either. Do they come down to your bird feeders?

 

They do Fern...
A short tale ...i'll try to keep it brief...it was thick snow, a good few inches...all of a sudden there was if i'm not mistaken a 'Bellowing of Bullfinches'...a fabulous site...loads of them....i'd made a comment of "i wish i could see one really close up".... seconds later there was a thump on the window...and there he was laid on his back in the thick snow....i got my close up alright...a beautiful little bird...ever since then i've always been careful what i wish for

 

@Lolimac It must be amazing to see so many together....I always worry that one of my feathery visitors will hit the window but so far it's not happened. A little goldfinch did get stuck in one of the feeders though. It must have happened near dusk because I didn't realise until I went outside to fill the feeders up the next morning. It must have died trying to escape. I threw that feeder away and got another one just incase it happened again.

 

Good point with the feeders Fern,it's always worth checking them out when we buy them...i hate those nets for instance...the times i've seen Bluetits come to grief with those i know these things happen sometimes and it's such a shame...

 

Wondered why the birds made a quick exit...Harriet the Hawk visited....

 

Loli,
you have some very scarce birds come into your garden. Not the usual run of the mill ones. Thank you for sharing them with us,
Jenny

 

You have a Sparrow hawk too Loli, let's hope it doesn't see the Bull Finch!!

Brands Bay yesterday morning.
Not much around and what was, was about 400 yards away except the Geese.


Confused Brent Geese.




Distant shot of some the Red Breasted Mergansers giving a very lively display.

 

Lovely Pics @strongylodon ....Yes 'Harriet' comes for her breakfast, dinner and tea almost daily she even brought one of her young one day,they were sat on the fence together...i'm sure they were talking about me...."Yes here she comes,watch this ,she'll start running round the garden waving her arms at us in a minute"......

@shiney ...Oscar was such a clever lad...he looked after the birds so well,it just shows how he was trying to protect them....

 

Superb photography
