32. Reed Bunting :t:
2 male Reed Buntings preening in the Silver Birch are certainly my highlight of the garden this morning. The first for nearly 2 years.

This took unusually long time (and I haven't see any fowls yet).

Yesterday I had Lesser Redpoll & Siskin within half a mile from here!

Hopefully they'll come close enough to get them on the Garden List H2, that's what's just happened here this morning, saw one of these earlier this month a few fields away, but today it flew past the window:
38 Nutcracker A good bird for mid-winter at the house, I usually have to wait till autumn to see them in the garden when they come down for the hazelnuts.
Also, I couldn't resist taking the attached picture to keep Ken on his toes, a solitary male that keeps hanging around the feeders this week (the Hawfinch, not Ken
)Attachments

I know the feeling H....this last week I've had LSWdpckr. Tree Creeper, and Firecrest within 400m of the house. :-C
Richard certainly knows how to "keep me on my Hawfinch toes" :-C
Nutcracker
Stop Brexit!
Dang! Thought I managed to avoid being seen on my sneak trip 3

I wondered who was responsible for those Yeti-like footprints in the garden - you should've called in for a coffee Nutcracker!

Broke of from watching the "Tennis", looked out the bedroom window, usual Redpoll, a Corvid mobbing Buzby, then out of the blue...a Lesser spott. bounded into yonder oak before disappearing into the branches below. First grdn. year tick since 20th no.49. and only my 3rd certainly within the last 20 years! Am now off for a celebratory "Americano"

I reckon you're right, though Barrie's Glaucous Gull comes close, making everyone jealous, but he is on the Orkney Isles after all!

I normally get a good return from my fore-hand before hitting an ace :eek!:

Probably the same bird that I've had on 3 previous occasions in the woods behind, trouble is the bugger isn't calling, and I've only connected 3 times in 7!
Apart from a briefly calling bird in 2013, my previous...and that was the first for decades, was "up your way" on the Wrekin, Shropshire a few years before....so never say die H. :t:
Finally got a half decent shot today!
