Cant beat a Great Tit! (That sounded ok in my head :D ). Nice pics Eccles,I went to take some pics of the Nuthatches etc On the C Chase yesterday, they put out feed on and around certain fallen trees in an ancient oak woodland I take some myself to bring them down to where I want them anyway a Nutha...

Hi all, Yes it did eat it Eccles after it had been chased by other numerous other wildfowl,see your point with the pic cropping and it was a bad crop not the speed of the Grebe,Ive had a quick go again although in the other one Ive posted it was like a parting of the Red Sea it was moving that fast....

Sorry back to common or garden, 4 pics from today

Great pics Eccles love the Starling, some birders tend to go for the rarer birds and can miss whats under their nose.
Is it always sunny down there
Shaun

Nice pictures Pauline, Although they are very easy to see as they let you approach to within feet they are also not that easy to photograph, on a less than sunny day they look just grey or they tend to stay just above skyline blotting their colours completely, so well done. The numbers up here are s...

Thanks Eccles,
Sorry to hear you have a cold that will be caused by hanging around on estuaries after Short Eared Owls
Shaun

Came across this Treecreeper he decided to do a freeze and you cant see me trick (one they do quite often) so I was taking pics as I approached him.Then a walker decided to walk between me and it to see what i was photographing giving it the chance to decide to go:x .
Shaun

Thanks Eccles, Yes Cannock Chase Is an excellent place for Nuthatches 2or 3 down at the feeder at one time.But then I cant see Dippers and Short Eared Owls without making over an hours journey :( (a case of horses for courses I suppose.)The area isnt a rare butterfly area but if you want a day of Gr...

Nice photos of Robin and Goldfinches,very clear and detailed,
went after some portrait pics today although weather not clever again!
These were best of bunch.

Yes Shirley,
Its a general bird feeder site that the Hawfinch uses now,Is that Niger seed in your feeder Siskins love that
Shaun

Hi all, seems the birders have found that Hawfinch as there were 40+ there today with some big glass on display :mrgreen: . The Hawfinch is quite happy to come down to the feeders within 20ft away but it was to crowded for me so a quick pic and I went to seek out a quieter area.Very cold -5 this mor...

Great to see lots of Siskins in the garden Shirley do you usually get them in the winter or is it just a good one?
we have had a flock of 100+ of these Redpolls locally this winter which is unusual

Hi all,
Yes Lisa I have the same problem with Little Grebes this one just couldnt be bothered.This Moorhen was the best he had improved on the usual stick your bill out of the water and they will go away and added a bit of army camouflage.
and a couple of pics from today.
