OK I'll start this off. Czech Republic jays and a red squirrel.

Glad that Scottish train drivers have patience - and a flexible timetable? ;) Thanks, IAN, that was great!
Ohio
Deer - one has (what looks like) badly injured hind legs:
I can't get a clearer shot of the poor deer's hind legs - it looks as tho there's bone sticking out on the right leg, but the left knee also looks damaged:
Cat followed a little while later, didn't even look at the seed trays:
Plenty rabbits before and after the deer.
+/- 07:30 the trays were given a major makeover, tons of seeds & nuts, plus the leftover slab and block from above - a single squirrel had plenty of time to enjoy before the competition arrived:
The black squirrels are a bit scared of the greys, but this one got 10 minutes all to itself until an unseen threat made it flee:
First flock:
A squirrel tried to cart away the block but couldn't:
Greedy!
Nasty Blue Jay bullied a House Sparrow:
Starlings had spats (that's a Red-winged Blackbird at the rear tray but one can't show all essential features in the same shot!):
Not as many Northern Cardinals as usual, but most of the regular birds were there.
Ohio cont'd
There was a rain break and then they came flooding back in:
Some of the early birds at the (newly stocked) upstairs feeder Blue Jay, N Cardinal (there was a female as well but she partially hid), BC Chickadee, Purple Finch, Woodpecker than I can't stop to ID, it was male, the red patch has got cut off by the random collage maker), Goldfinches, accidentally in twice.
Brunch break.
The Carolina Wren was stretching to eat from below - later it realised that side access would be easier but I couldn't get a good shot of that:
Unusual to see a Woody feeding at the tray:
There have been several Red-winged Blackbirds:

Gosh. I'm amazed the deer still seems to be putting weight on it?
Good selection of wildlife at this spot
Unknown said:Amazing footage on the DOC/Cornell twitter feed of the NZ albatross having her egg checked for a pip by the ranger.
I couldn't find it on that page, KORKY, but found one by Lady Hawk, which I hope is correct :)
Yes, amazing <3
Some sessions from the lovely Czech feeder :)
This squirrel looked as tho its tail and ears had been singed :o
Male and female Great Spotted Woodpeckers:
Plenty females about, I believe the males service several, I only see one prowling in the background at any time ;)
Mouse with perfect ears :)
