  1. Excited?

    Excited?

    I see this Blue Tit has erected his crest, as if he's got excited over fat balls LOL. Strangely, back in June when this was taken, we could hardly keep up with filling the fat ball feeder. Now, they're not interested in these plain ones and will only eat the ones with the black seeds in. My...
  2. If I time it right....

    If I time it right....

    .... she may not notice!!? A cheeky Blue Tit, photo-bombed my attempts to get a picture of a Chaffinch, on a feeder at Kinnordy reserve! Saturday Fun,
  3. Escort

    Escort

    I suddenly became aware that, unusally, there were two Great Spotted Woodpeckers around. Eventually I discovered that an adult male had brought a juvenile with him to show him where he could get some food. Excitement of the week that!!
  4. Feeding

    Feeding

    It's not often I manage to get pictures of insects, but did manage this Bumblebee, busy around the pollen on the wild flowers. Wondering if this is a buff-tailed?
  5. Foot inspection

    Foot inspection

    I can't see a see in the Coal Tit's toes, so if that's not it, I don't know what was so interesting about his feet!!
  6. Up above...

    Up above...

    ...a Blue Tit sits, contemplating life, in a tree. Or is he just waiting his chance at the feeders below do you think?
  7. Oh do go away

    Oh do go away

    The woodie didn't seem to be too pleased to have a camera pointing at him. Rather funnily, I'd no idea the Coal Tit was there until I downloaded it!! Saturday Fun
  8. Oddity

    Oddity

    It was pretty quiet on patch that day, the only other picture I have for you is a Mallard which appears to have some domestic parentage, as he looks rather odd, don't you think. I can't remember seeing another like it up there either before or since (so far)! I did see a Little Grebe in the...
  9. Mum and bairn

    Mum and bairn

    On the way up to my Up the Hill Patch, I usually pull in off the road and have a scan around, as it's really close to the patch, with this field actually joining onto it. Ken suddenly spotted a Roe Deer half way to the forest, so I had a look through my bins and could see not only two females...
  10. Broken mirror

    Broken mirror

    This Blue Tit sure isn't looking his best, is he! Hope it means he's moulting or something.
  11. Exploring

    Exploring

    Now for my first juvenile tit of the summer and this proved to be a Coal Tit. He seemed to be examining a broken branch, a vertical feature of this tree. It so reminds me of the vines growing up the eucalypts in the Australian rain forests. Strangely, although I know this was taken at the Mause...
  12. Carrot for lunch

    Carrot for lunch

    We started off back down the glen and soon found a Eurasian Oystercatcher in a field beside the road. Had to shoot between the fence wires, as I was unable to climb up the bank to be above the fence.
  13. Chatting

    Chatting

    A Spotted Flycatcher was in the same section of fencing as the thrush. Doing the usual, flying out and returning to the same spot. I love these guys.
  14. Photo Bomber

    Photo Bomber

    Our Sunday trip that week was into Glen Moy, one of the Angus glens, One of our favourites, as it attracts less visitors than some of the more well known ones. Right at the top, as far as you can go by road, we park up near a river. An old fence on the other side of the road attracted a Mistle...
  15. Babies were out

    Babies were out

    I think this fledgling Robin was the first youngster I saw at the Mause feeders this year. Unfortunately he was a bit distant, and I didn't get the focus quite right. But I do try to record everything I can at this site.
  16. Big boy

    Big boy

    A Great Tit emerged from behind a branch; there's a bit of a hole in the middle of that post, and I put a little seed in there for them to find. Would you believe that that branch is now about 2 feet above the post! I can't believe the tree has grown that much in a few months??
  17. The chase

    The chase

    I'd been chasing this Blackbird all over the feeding area without any luck. Then he flew down onto the road behind the gate. This is taken through the windscreen, and between the bars of the gate. So sorry about the poor focusing job. TTTW
  18. Clinging on

    Clinging on

    For some reason the Great Spotted Woodpeckers seem to prefer the nuts at the bottom of the feeder. This is the male, we hadn't seen the female for a while, so presumably she was still on nest duty.
  19. Inspection

    Inspection

    The Jay came back again, and sat on a funny branch thing at the back of the feeding area. Obviously checking that it was safe to come right in.
  20. You missed a bit!

    You missed a bit!

    A pair of Eurasian Oystercatchers on the Patch causeway. I'm sure the one on the right is telling him to wash behind his ears!! Saturday Fun
  21. Ferdy

    Ferdy

    I decided to call our Common Pheasant 'Ferdy'. He's always about and will come if I call him, sometimes bringing a lady friend, or another pal or two. At the moment he's lacking some crown feathers, so easy to spot which one he is. This is a typical sighting of him wandering through the grass.
  22. Peep show

    Peep show

    I keep telling other members how much I love pictures of birds peeking out from behind foliage, but it's not all that often I manage to take them. This Chaffinch obliged.
  23. Full crop

    Full crop

    Then we had a Eurasian Jay visiting for a few days. At least this was the first of many I saw, but I've a funny feeling he'd been around already for a bit as he knew exactly where to go to pick up the peanuts. LOL You can see how full his crop is already!
  24. Evil personified

    Evil personified

    At our Mause feeders the following day I found a very angry looking Eurasian Jackdaw. Caught at the right angle they really can look evil I think. I really am not best pleased with these guys, as all through the spring and early summer they arrived mob-handed and did their best to destroy our...
  25. Fence sitter

    Fence sitter

    A bit further along the Tullymurdoch road from the swallow, we pulled into a gateway to have a scan about. And there on a fence post was a Mistle Thrush. Ken's side of the car so he took the picture for me.
