  1. Snow Fun

    How a Yellowhammer enjoys himself in the snow. Thought this picture was rather pretty, as well as being funny. TTTW

    In a tangled web

    I don't seem able to get many pictures of my Robin at home for some reason (perhaps this picture goes some way to explain why LOL). Sadly I've not much snow in this picture to make it worth thinking about for a Christmas card... oh well! Wind has dropped here a bit and it's therefore a bit...

    What's she feeding us now?

    Mr B doesn't seem too sure that the snow tastes that good to eat LOL We had a right old gale here yesterday with lots of snow showers. The snow didn't settle until a heavier fall later in the afternoon when the wind had dropped a bit. Only a very little lay and it's all gone now. A casualty of...

    High stool

    I'd not seen a pigeon since the previous fall of snow back in January a few weeks before. He's found that new perch too. The sharp eyes amongst you may see the top of a seed feeder just below him... yep, I suddenly realised that I could hang one up there... and a bonus is that I can see the...

    Puzzled

    A little while after my SF picture yesterday, this pretty little Blue Tit arrived. He looks rather puzzled as to where all the food is, even the fat balls are a bit covered, aren't they.

    Where's all the birds? (SF)

    The view of my feeders at first light during that awful snowy period early February. The seed tray is at the bottom of the picture on the pole, so covered with snow it just blends into the whole scene. The snow was so deep I couldn't wear my shoes with the spikes on but had to put on my...

    Replacing

    .... the male Chaffinch; this is more or less where he'd sat at the base of the beech hedge a couple of days before. Had a good old look about before moving on to where she wanted to go. TTTW

    Well.... he doesn't seem to be too keen on all this snow - I found him sheltering at the base of the beech hedge.

    Judging by how fluffed up he is, the poor thing. This was during that cold, snowy spell in February. It's always a pleasure to see Fieldfares in the garden through the winter.

    Cold foot

    This was the day we had a big dump of snow (which after a day or two froze hard). The Jackdaw had been pushing his bill into the snow to find anything buried there, turned around and then lifted a foot up into his feathers. You have to feel sorry for them don't you. TTTW (too cold to open it...

    ... for anyone wondering what TTTW means! ;) I'd not seen any Collared Doves for a while and this was only the second I'd managed to photograph this year. Does he look a strange angle to you... well he's half-way up the steep bank to the feeders, it's not high, but almost vertical. I really...

    This Blue Tit was most unco-operative hiding behind the feeder. Guess I'll have to cover the mesh on that side to make them come to the front. Do you think that will work? TTTW for Saturday Fun

    .... is becoming more regular! I saw one during the Christmas holidays, which was the first for a few months, now here was one at the beginning of February. Until a few years ago I'd only seen one in the area and that was up in the Glens. To get one onto my Year List, I had to go to the...

    Buried treasure

    The snow was soft so the nuts had fallen through. Didn't stop this Starling though... still managed to find his peanut. The day was very overcast and we had lots of snow falling on and off, so the quality of this picture has suffered, even though I tried my best with adjusting levels and stuff...

    Starling, Chaffinch and Blackbird forming a socially distanced circle but it looks like they've formed a tableau for a new stage play! LOL They all seem to be happily feeding on their own food patch. Saturday fun, TTTW

    More snow

    Yep... a few days later back the snow came, before the previous lot had completely gone, so we had thick ice under a thick layer of snow. Not a good combination! My first visitor that morning was this colourful Chaffinch. TTTW

    Winter visitor

    I'd been hearing a Fieldfare for several days around our complex, but hadn't managed to spot him. Then suddenly there he was in my neighbour's tree, right outside my window. A waif from the bad weather. Quality not great as this was a quick grab before he flew and also a TTTW shot.
