WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2019

Eastern Kingbird, a large flycatcher.
Range: Central Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Well camouflaged Hydrogardener.

 

Our young Blue Tits left the nest box a few days ago. There were four being fed at times by the parents, so a good brood.







Greenfinch


Possibly young Siskin?

 

Eastern Phoebe
Sayornis phoebe, sparrow-sized flycatcher, range: Central Canada, U.S. east of the Rockies, to the southern U.S.

 

Lots of young around the garden, Siskins, Goldfinches, Blackbirds, Starlings and Sparrows.

 

Lovely pics. Sheal ,the beauty of our wildlife..........I am a little bit jealous as all Bluetits have left our garden.
I am hoping they will return.

 

Super pics.Strongy...........I can feel the joy in your garden.

 

@Sheal your last pic is a young Greenfinch.

 

Skylark in the rain with food for its young.

 

That's a shame @roders. The Great, Blue and Coal Tits are here all year round. The Long Tailed Tits are usually winter visitors but they are still visiting on occasions now, probably due to the cold, damp Spring.

Thanks @strongylodon. That's why I put a question mark after it. The tail feathers were telling me Greenfinch but it's bright green body didn't seem to tie in.

I watched a nasty fight between a Carrion and Hooded Crow on my drive today. They pinned each other down and just laid there until Mr S went out and disturbed them.
