Shy
Can you spot him? There's a Treecreeper just about to go behind some foliage half-way up the tree. A pretty distant shot this. I was lucky enough to spot a bit of movement and clicked in the hope of! Had a nightmare day LOL hospital this morning. Then went to get a new mobile as my old one...- delia todd

Watchful
Back in town we visited the lower Craighall feeders. Here's Mr Chaffinch keeping an eye out for when he might be able to get a look in at the feeders!- delia todd

No longer rare
This is the largest group of Canada Geese I've seen in this area (this is only a fraction of them. I don't know where they've all come from!!! Sadly they were at the far side of the loch so I can't really risk cropping the picture any more than that.- delia todd

The culprit
And as if by magic, I produce a picture of one of the Great Spotted Woodpeckers "waisting" the fat block. Sorry, never got a sighting of the back of the head, so don't know the sex of this one.- delia todd

Who's been at this!!!?
This Blue Tit seems to be quite affronted that someone had been trying to give the fat block a "waist". I could have told him it was the Woodpeckers LOL- delia todd

Incoming
An early October visit to Lintrathen to try and catch up with the movement of any winter visitors. Suddenly, the squeaky chatter of geese could be heard and there was a bunch of Pink-footed Goose coming in to land on the loch- delia todd

That's what I wanted!
Seems Great Tit found just the titbit he was after! He's looking grand for the end of the season, think he must have completed his post breeding moult.- delia todd

Hoping
Robins are always a joy to see I think. Trouble is they always seem to arrive when I'm busy trying to have my lunch, so getting the camera up isn't as straightforward as it could be. So sometimes I miss the shot and they don't always come back before I have to leave. Got it right this day! He...- delia todd

There were a group of Mallards near the hide, but I selected this male as he gave a great view of his orange foot!- delia todd

Looks complex like a puzzle feeder
Off we went to Loch of the Lowes last autumn. A Blue Tit was on a feeder outside the reception. The feeding station was rather busy that day.- delia todd

Resting place
Leaving my Patch, we found some Swallows hanging about on the overhead wires. Usually they'd be recent fledglings, but these two both look like adults.- delia todd

In the grass
There was lots going on up on the patch that September day for a few Linnet flew in and started seed hunting in the grass. I think this one is an immature, rather than female, as he had quite a few more streaks down his front that I think the girls do. Not having a good time just now... hardly...- delia todd

The ups and downs of woodland photography!
Purely a record shot this one. The first I'd seen for months (well it felt like it) and I was so excited that I'd managed to spot it in the tree, with leaves and twigs in the way.... and on the other side of the road! I'm actually rather surprised to have actually managed to get an image at all...- delia todd

In a Whirl
This is what happens when you try to photograph a Blue Tit that has come for a seed. He's off as soon as you get focused!! I've never had it result in quite such a shot before. Recognisably still a Blue Tit though LOL Saturday Fun Sorry I was missing so much yesterday. Spent the whole...- delia todd

In the Frame
I spotted a movement behind the seed feeder tree and when I locked on it proved to be a Chaffinch. Wish I could get more birds there in that natural frame LOL- delia todd

That's Tasty!
I don't know what the Blue Tit was saying, but I like to think it was along those lines LOL He seems to be standing guard over his peanut butter anyway.- delia todd

Baby
We visited one of our favourite glens again in September, and shortly after entering, came across some House Martins on a power line. Obviously only just out of the nest. He seems to be waiting for mum to come and feed him.- delia todd

Loose feathers
I think this Blackbird has been busy raising youngsters, and now needs to get down to the serious job of moulting. Some of his feathers look a bit worse for wear, don't you think! Saturday Fun- delia todd
