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

Saw 42 different birds altogether Woo but apart from the lesser Spotted Woodpecker and a couple of Marsh Harriers, nothing unusual.
Everywhere is under water, I think I'm developing webbed feet!

 

Well spotted Strongy (pardon the pun)

Great shot Woo....i cannot for the life of me get a picture of a Seagull in flight

 

I enjoyed all the photos especially the lapwings. When I was young they were everywhere I have not seen one for years. The ploughed fields were their usual spot where did they all go.

 

I have never got a shot of any bird in flight - I zoom in - and then lose them

We have a group of Redwings visiting - first saw them on Sunday - was so excited - never seen one before (had to look it up) - it was raining and they were on the ground next door and flying across the garden - we have red berries on a tree on one side (don't know name) - and on the other some ivy with berries. Took some photos through the window - but not very good with the rain and all - hubby decided to help - opened the blind and then the window - and they all promptly flew away

They eventually came back and I caught one perched on a branch - stayed there for a while
I set the camera to continuous shooting - and when I zoomed the pictures on the computer one was pulling a long worm out of the ground (sadly very bad quality - and not much better after my attempted photoshop) the other has a branch in front of it .

Still great though S...

 

Smashing photos everyone! That's a lovely shot of the Redwing @sumbody I'd be excited too if there was a flock of them in my garden!

 

Lovely shot Woo! I love the shadow on the gulls wing and back.

 

Lovely shots Woo....the photo of the magpie is fab. The fact it's got nest material must mean spring is not far off!

 

Red Kite (& pigeon) in one of my apple trees. (also seen Hen Harriers in that tree)
