Once a bird lover ... always a bird lover
Love your Reed Bunting Val. Looks very elegant and distinctive too. That is not something you would normally see in your garden at all.
Great to have Thrushes around, and 2 at that, as they are very shy Garden birds at the best of time. :-O
Love your Rook pictures Kits. Good idea with the scones in the fat feeder. Will adopt that idea myself, with my spare fatball feeder.

Thanks Val and Kathy! I thought the scones in the fatball feeder quite a nifty idea!
This afternoon there was a brambling amongst the chaffinches, but he flew off scared when I appeared with the camera. :-C The robin, a solitary blue tit and 1 jay joined the others. And this chap.

Smart looking Pheasant there, Kits.
Oddly enough, I was convinced that there was a Brambling with the Chaffies in the front garden this morning, but it never stayed still long enough for me to look through bins at it. I shall keep watching.

Oooo! Very nice photos, Kits!
We have the same birdies. Mourning doves, starlings, purple finch, house sparrows, tufted titmouse, black-capped and Carolina chickadees, red and white-breasted nuthatch, Carolina wren, brown creeper, blue jays, cardinals ( and while I cannot be 100% sure there was a less than brilliant male and I strongly think that was *our* Mr. Cardinal), golden-crowned kinglets, downy wp, red headed wp, hairy wp, red bellied wp and some crows.
Oh ... There was an odd sound. Who's that high in the weeping willow? YIKES! A pair of Pileated Woodpeckers! Those guys are very large! When I went inside they came to sample the food I had served in the diner.
Earlier in the day was a Cooper's Hawk and a Red-tailed Hawk. They left hungry.

Hi Lydia,
I do do want to see for myself some of your wonderfully named and coloured birds. Glad that you still have the Kinglets, I think that they would be my favourites.

Sounds like a fabulous collection, Lydia!
Wendy - do take a look in Opus to see what information you can find on them. Then when you get to Ohio, you will know what you are looking for!
We have had upwards of 20 wood pigeons and even more of rooks and jackdaws today. 2 coal tits appeared, several chaffinches, 1 magpie ... and ... the ... muntjac! :eek!:

Ah, lovely, Val. I do wish my Blackcap would stay still long enough to have his photo taken. Still, I suppose I should be grateful that he visits me in the first place.

Hi All.
I've only seen one Redwing all winter, so you can imagine my delight when on opening the curtains this morning I saw this handsome bird in the tree that overhangs my garden, thereby making it a garden tick. It certainly got the day off to a cracking start. Pity it was all downhill from there. lol.

Nice to see a Green Woodpecker in the winter, Kits. The only time they visit my garden is in the summer when they feast on the ants!
No sign of a Song Thrush in my garden, Val, but they are within spitting distance as I hear them frequently when I walk down the lane behind our houses.
Like others, the usual mob were in today, but I was delighted with the return of the Blackcap who obligingly stayed on the table to have his photo taken this time. The Goldfinch was one of six in the back garden at the time and the Woodie just looked so contented I had to snap him!
