Great shots everyone.......love the starlings and the robins!

 

No close ups as they were very wary and may have just arrived from the continent.
A flock of around 200 Fieldfares (and a handful of Redwings) in a field just north of Corfe Castle.






A distant Wood lark, it's short tail distinguishing it from Sky Lark and Meadow Pipit.

 

Interesting,
Mr Namaste saw and heard a parakeet flying past this afternoon. In the garden, don't know whether it was a lone bird or not. Will keep a look out from now on,
Jenny

 

Was it one of these Jenny?

“the grey squirrel of the skies.”
yes, Sheal, a novelty whilst in limited numbers but we may well come to regret its spread,

I can't believe I hadn't seen this thread before! I always feed the birds I get so much pleasure in watching them from my dining room window. This morning I've had 3 wrens, they live in the back garden somewhere & really are so cute! They are busy all the time! 2 Wagtails (winston & Winnie!! ) Philip Pheasent! Starlings, sparrows, blue tits,8 gold finch, green finch, 5 Robins, blackbirds, great tits, long tailed tits, bullfinch, 2 doves & a pigeon! I think I've remembered everyone, my front garden is literally alive with birds all day, it's lovely. My neighbour said we'd had a spotted woodpecker too, I shall be delighted if I see him . My biggest problem is cats, we have a lot of cats in the village so ground feeding is really out of the question, however hubby did fix me up a sort of high shelf so I can put a bit of food on there for the 'ground feeders', it seems to work well.

 

Glad you are enjoying this thread now you've discovered it Beckie. Any piccies of your residents would be lovely to see here,
Jenny

 

A brief stop at the outflow at Holes Bay again before going to 'work' and even though the tide was almost in, one Spoonbill was there again, it looks like a young one, keeping company with the Swans, also six pairs of Gadwall, an often overlooked duck.






The usual Little Egret was there as always.


Male Gadwall.


Pair, female on the right.
