  1. Słowiński NP

    Słowiński NP

    Inland view from the top of a dune. Taken before I was into birding; I have quite a few photos of plants, though, the highlight being probably the bog-myrtle, which is rare and protected in Poland (not hard to spot as there was an information plate next to it).

  2. How to... (SF)

    How to... (SF)

    .... make a mess of a new species for the garden!! Take it sideways through the double-glazing! After my neighbours lowered the hedge by a few feet I noticed that they'd got feeders hanging from their tree. Last year was the first time I'd seen/heard any Greenfinches at all in the area, just...

    Returned to the fold

    So... the female House Sparrow decided that my food may be better after all LOL. TTTW A quick post and run today, for I'm off out shortly to have a cataract dealt with. Not sure when I'll be able to see well enough to be able to look at the laptop, maybe tonight, maybe next week.

    Loyal

    Well.... he's at least more loyal than his missis and kept himself to my side of the hedge! He's right down the bottom of the beech hedge. The greenery is actually their lawn behind it. TTTW

    With the lowering of the neighbour's beech hedge, I can now see their feeders hanging in their tree.... and here was one of MY House Sparrows feeding there! TTTW

    Barrier

    I'd not seen a Long-tailed Tit landing on the old road safety barrier before, and it was rather nice to get one, on its own, out in the open for a change.

    Twenty minutes later and the light round the feeders was completely different. The Long-tailed Tits returned - who can resist taking pictures of them?

    A wee splash of red

    There are quite a few Robins near the feeders (rarely on them) and they mostly feed on the ground under the broom and on the path. Got this one, against the light, in one of the trees on the opposite side of the road from the feeders, so I was quite pleased at this result. The most I've seen...

    A really popular feeder!

    They don't always appear when I go, but a real treat when they do come. Think I caught 5 on the fat balls at that time, but there was so much coming and going I may have missed some!! Delightful, aren't they. And a rather nice Christmas treat too.

    A few days after the Mistle Thrush appeared, a Song Thrush came in. These are pretty rare visitors to my garden area too, mostly in the autumn, though I sometimes hear them in the distance. TTTW

    The autumnal colours are reflected in the birds as well I think. It really was a lovely sight seeing these two sitting so close together with the autumn leaves and fruits. BTW the Gallery Search is not working properly at the moment and is only picking up items in the Tags field (the luggage...

    Red in the blue (European Robin)

    I heard a Robin singing and eventually found him at the top of a tree outside my window. He stopped singing when I was photographing him though, guess he was just having a good look around.

    ... aren't they? August found us back at the new feeding station and the feeders were back up! Unfortunately these don't visit my garden (yet); it'd taken a few visits before they showed themselves to me though.

    A Wood Pigeon looking on while the Black-headed Gull demonstrates his best ballet position. Couldn't resist this one for my Saturday Fun entry. That roof is quite steep and gulls, particularly, always struggle to climb it. TTTW

    The wee one

    Then an old friend appeared much further up the lochan. The lovely Little Grebe (or Dabchick). Too far away to get a really decent image, so I didn't attempt to crop too much, as I thought the setting was attractive anyway. The vegetation was looking really lush!

    Back on the Patch

    A couple of days later we checked for the feeders, but still none. So we drove on up the Glen heading towards Glenshee, but turned off onto the Tullymurdoch road across the moor where we'd explored the previous day out. The weather wasn't as good and we really didn't see much, apart from a...

    We went to the new feeding station, but now all the feeders had been taken down, so we scattered some seed on the ground, but little turned up. A discussion then followed and we decided to head for the hills. We set off past my old Up the Hill patch and turned onto the moor beyond. It's a...
