    Through window glass. I'm having to get used to double glazing, which often makes focusing difficult, though not on this occasion. Thank you for your comments, and good birding! John

    Red Admiral

    They've been very numerous this year, which many attribute to climate change. Taken not with a macro lens but the 100-400mm. TTTW. Thank you for your comments, and good birding!

    Eurasian Blackbird (juvenile)

    Taken at the care home in the aftermath of a downpour, in front of rainwater cascading into a drain. The first Blackbird I've seen this year, believe it or not. When still at the flat I heard them, but they wouldn’t show. Thank you for your comments, and good birding! John

    Rose-ringed Parakeet

    Not wholly welcome, in that they take food intended for Goldfinches and other small birds. But they're photogenic, both species are doing well here, and in any case, according to the Natural History Museum (London): “Tawny owls, sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons will all feast on parakeets...

    Common Wood Pigeon

    Trying to get this rather large berry down its throat, and looking like it's having second thoughts. It did swallow the berry, and a few more, but seemed to be making rather heavy weather of them, pulling all sorts of faces. Taken in evening light through window glass. Stay safe and well, and...

    Thank you for the Stock Dove comments. Goldfinches have been absolutely stuffing themselves with pine kernels, from the feeder my brother has put up outside the window. (Hopefully these birds have been bringing insect food for their young, and just come to the feeder to replace the calories...
