Birds In The Garden

We have a wide range of birds here in our garden--Bill puts loads of food out for them all year round and it pays off.....these are some of the visitors we have had today.....above is the male Brambling..beautiful colours,it can be mistaken for a chaffinch from a distance..

a female Brambling--not quite as colourful-but still a pretty little bird.

Loads of Brambling feeding on the floor..

We have had loads of thrushes here today.....

The Nuthatch has been here a lot--even saw him on the floor eating which is very unusual for them..

The Woodpecker stopped off on the washing line pole first of all...

then landed on the fat balls---the little Tom Tit wasn't fazed by him at all...

The Robin is always around...saw 2 of them today..

We have a few wood pigeons coming here to feed....they are comical birds...

The Starling is a beautiful bird...pretty markings...

We love to see these lovely little birds--Long Tailed Tits...they come in droves-feed quickly and are gone as quickly as they come...

Mr Blackbird after the mealy worms Bill puts in a tray in the curly hazel tree....

I'm not 100% sure if these are Thrush or Red Wings.....they look very alike until they fly off--and you can see the red under the wings of the Redwings! I didn't see them fly off so don't know if they are or not!

the birds Christmas wreath is being eaten--but wasn't touched until Bill laid it down--scared them to death when we had it hanging up! All sorts of birds have been feeding on it...

The robin after the mealy worms.. how lovely it is to see all the little birds here--we have many other sorts visiting us regularly--that I haven't taken pictures of,,,, we are very lucky--all Mum seems to get is pigeons!
