We've a stream at the end of the garden where, last Spring, two Wrens built a nest which was sadly destroyed by flooding following the torrential rain. This is the first time I've looked down there this year and would you believe it:

View attachment 431300

This shot is within 6 feet of where their nest was last year so this is possibly one of the two birds who were flooded out. Great to see this bird, I just hope that if they build a nest in the same place they don't suffer the same fate.

what a cracking shot :t: keeping some of the environment in the image adds so much more I think sometimes . lovely image, good luck

Baeutiful sight, CB. I checked almost all of them out with binos in case there was a Bohemian Waxwing among them. But no luck!

Spotted this little Yellowhammer in the garden just below the feeders at station 1 this morning first one of the year.
Sorry about the quality as it was very dull and the window was a little steamed up.

Its the quality of the bird, not the photo, that counts. Well done:t:
