Not noticed that before
I don't think it's probably that unusual, but I've never noticed that extra red patch up on the female's belly on any other Great Spotted Woodpecker before. She's loving the nuts, isn't she.- delia todd

Poor thing
I noticed the tic by this Dunnock's eye, but it wasn't until I looked at the picture this evening that I saw his feet!!! Can't believe those two lumps are tics on his toes, but no idea what else they can be. Such a shame.- delia todd

Vibrant
I couldn't believe how vibrant this Blue Tit appears to be. Don't know if it was the effect of the light that day or what. Maybe he'd just completed his post breeding moult. Any other ideas? Today I saw my first fledgling! A House Sparrow, really wasn't expecting one so soon. Parents had...- delia todd

Fussy
Seems a while since I showed you a Long-tailed Tit from Mause. It must have been round about this time that they went off the plain fat balls, as I was trying to see if they'd eat them with the seeded ones interspersed. You can see the result of that experiment!!- delia todd

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

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

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

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

I couldn't resist cropping this to provide a portrait of the Robin who visits the Mause feeding station. I do think he's lovely.- 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

It looks as if the Nuthatch is inspecting the nuts to see if it's worthwhile going to eat them!!- 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

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

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

Back to normal
The Nuthatch seemed to agree that it should be on the nuts after all LOL. Sorry if I post too many of these, but they're still a novelty for us here. The first one I saw in the area was during Covid, so a long wait!- delia todd

Twiggy
A Blue Tit had flown up to a tree to eat his seed in peace, neatly putting himself behind a tangle of twigs, thinking he couldn't be seen no doubt. Didn't work did it LOL Sorry I didn't get a picture on yesterday, had a rather painful few days, and the blooming pain killers make me sleepy...- delia todd

Thought they liked nuts!!!
Nuthatches were very regular visitors to the lower feeding station throughout last summer. So nice to see. Not managed to attract them to the main one I look after, just one visit last year.- delia todd
