lovely bird pictures both of you
ReplyDeleteThanks David. It would be easier if we hadn't chosen to have leading on the windows.
DeleteYesterday, for the first time I saw Red Kites in Fleet. They are gradually spreading over the whole country (well, the South, at least). I hope to be able to take some photos of them before long!
ReplyDeleteI think Harrogate near Leeds was one of the first sites where red kites were released, Mark. When we go to Harlow Carr, we often see them citcling above. When we visited one garden we had the opportunity to watch one in flight from quite close quarters. We think that last week we also had a buzzard flying high above the allotments. Both beautiful birds.
DeleteWhat beautiful visitors! Thanks for sharing. We have nothing like that here
ReplyDeleteDo you put food out for the birds in your garden, Sue?
DeleteWhat cuties! I wonder if I could hang a feeder with peanuts like that - we have lots of squirrels and I'm thinking they would go crazy trying to get at the nuts.
ReplyDeleteThe goldfinch is eating sunflower hearts, Margaret. We have grey squirrels visit too and they do climb up the tree and steal nuts from the feeders. We have one feeder though that is squirrel proof.
DeleteWonderful close up shots Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo.
DeleteOh....now that is what I call a treat. I did enjoy these fantastic pictures of such beautiful birds.xxx
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy watching them, Dina but we don't seem to be getting as many birds into the garden as we used to.
DeleteJust now here, you hear the birds more than you see them. I was pleased the other day to be outside when the swallows came back. On their first visit of the year they make sure their house is still awaiting them. They fly around for a few minutes and then leave for a week or two until they come back to settle.
ReplyDeleteWe saw our first swallow fleetingly the other day. Alain.
DeleteWhat a treat to see all of the birds that are visiting your garden this time of year. Your UK goldfinch is so handsome. and looks so very different than out bright gold ones here. They are just coming back to the feeder this week. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Lexa goldfinches are beautiful bird. We have a few birds that share a name but are quite different.
DeleteSuch a cute littel bird eating nuts!
ReplyDeleteThat's a blue tit Malar
