    Not exactly a classic pose, but I love the way the cock Chaffinch stands out like a sore thumb in a tidy suburban garden & yet on the forest floor of this Ancient Oakwood, he is almost invisible.

    Sorry folks, I know another Robin, but after all, it is Christmas time. ;-)

    It was sitting at around freezing this morning, in Breen Oakwood, no doubt that's why this wee man was so well puffed up against the cold, but I was OK, I had 5 layers of clothing on me! :-)

    Even when you are hunting bigger game, it's hard to resist the charms of a Robin ~ in Breen Oakwood today.

    This little Robin looks like how I felt, sitting in the murky, shady depths of Breen Ancient Oakwood this afternoon, where the Temp never rose above 1.

    Ah, so that's the colour on top of their head! ;-)

    Of course, they're just as charming in the forest. ;-)

    General photo of Waxwing having an AGM on telephone pole on the Causeway Coast. A first for me to see. A nice feeling

    This morning I was screaming, in my head, for this little lady to turn round. ;-)

    Female Sparrowhawk

    I didn't post this as a great photo, but as an aid to telling a sad tale. This Sparrowhawk landed right in front of me this morning, just on the other side of a small clearing & proceeded to relax, raising one foot, so I was excited cause I thought I had lots of time to watch it. Sadly, it...

    Not the prettiest face perhaps, but check out that metallic finish! However, one of my favourite sights in our countryside, is seeing a flock of Rooks playing in the sky on a very windy day.

    Magpie

    Love them or loathe them, they are still very striking birds. I must admit it depresses me, when I meet so-called Bird lovers who say they actually hate this species or that species. I just don't understand that attitude at all. When it comes to the magpie they start waxing lyrical about how...

    Sparrowhawk

    It was as if this little fella was just waiting for me to fill the Feeders, because within 5 mins of me filling them up, my Finches & Tits all dived for cover ... all except one unfortunate Greenfinch. I posted this earlier, but I thought, since it was a grubby shot taken through a dirty...
