Wild Birds

I believe we are in for a very cold snap over the next few days. Our feathered friends will count on us for survival extra food please.

 

I'm with you there Hans

 

Hi Hans, glad you thought to remind everyone.
Although my first thought when the alarm goes at 7-30 is the birds will be waiting, i didn't think of posting on gardeners corner.I have two seed feeders, cage of fat balls,peanut feeder,
birdhouse for bread and i put seed and bread close to my privet hedge for (quick cover) for the ground feeders. Not forgetting water. But still they're waiting all along the hedge for me and the dogs to come out.

 

I received one of those bird feeders for Christmas, with accessories.

The seed feeders occasionally have blue tits and great tits, but they are too fast to take a photo. They fly in take a seed then off into the shrubbery.

They don't seem to be interested in the peanut holders and it's only the starlings that use the fat balls.

I was glad to see the kingfisher back on Sunday. There are plenty of small rudd in the pond if he's feeling peckish.

 

My hubby and I love birds and we do get a few Coal, Great and Blue Tits in our garden!! Here are some pics. Sorry the quality of the pics are not great as we only have ordinary digital camera and taking these through double glazing didn't help much either!!! Enjoy!

opps, missed a few things out!! First time posting pics!

Anyway, the first one you see are Greenfinch and Blue Tit (I think)!

Second - Blue Tit

Third - Blue Tit again

Forth - Coal Tit

Fifth - Goldfinch (we have 2 Goldfinches as pet ourselves!!!)

I made a mistake on the last one when posting, it's a Great Tit upside down looking for spiders and insects for food under the shed's roof!

Aren't they lovely??!!

We have other pics for other birds too, I will post them if anyone would like to see them, we took a pic of a Woodpecker too!!

Well done, bubbly! nice pics!
However, they would look much better if you reduced the size of the photo - presume you used Photobucket - edit them to something less than 100kb and they'll look much better.
Well done for a first try, tho' but!

 

A flock of long tailed tits called today, about eight of them, they seem to like just about everything but one stays on guard. I've seen them visit quite few times and they are always a talking point. But where was the camera? today, upstairs.
