The three juveniles are thriving under Mrs G and Aran's continued care, proving once again what formidable parents they are. Long may the season continue to be be hassle-free as it nears the time for migration

  • Not at all. I wasn't sure and am glad to know JillR
  • JillR said:
    Sorry folks - the two birds are little grebes (dabchicks)

    These, JILL?  I just found a nice little video on here filmed in Wales in 2013, so hopefully these will be remembered ;)  Little sweeties.

    13 November

    The whole morning up to 13:30 was corrupted, unplayable :(  Late afternoon/evening we got some nest views, the corvid pair were seen blurrily on the perch and then a squirrel kindly turned up, popped into the left side and down over the bak, was here for about 3 seconds Grin

    14 November

    Here was the Goosander in the middle of the river - there were sometimes two, I could never see where the second one came from and the view was always very distant:

    Later a Magpie, no better view available:

    Shame to give a beautiful swan a muddy frame, but needs must Wink

  • Well, the Goosander is a handsome dude and Little Sweeties will indeed be remembered.. Magpie and Swan more than acceptable. Thank you Scylla
  • 15 November - I just said there was nothing to report but had left out the morning 6 hours.

    There was a Little Grebe/Dabchick among 3-4 Goosanders, and then several corvids, including magpies, under the feeders - but no clear views.

  • 16 November

    Pinky-mauvy morning, colours not enhanced:

    (Drag-n-drop has stopped working... Picture upload reporting "Error"... I'm going to clear cache/cookies and see if that works.)

    Oh well, didn't need to - I can edit in the snap/s.

    It got more vivid Open mouth

    Last shot before Heather changed the view:

    There are 4 corvids here, the leftmost is head-only and other dark blobs are wood:

    Underneath that view were Great and Coal Tits flitting around.

    Glasnessie revived:

    Goosander trailing 'footprints':

    Way over the other side of the bridge:

    That was up to 13:45.

    It's been a dull and rainy day, no rainbows!

  • Terrific sequence of colour change - most interesting . And ye gods - 'hey ma I shrank the  Osprey'.

    very  nice birdie shots nevertheless but Glasnessie   ?   nah - its a salty croc in disguise ( ¶ if you go down  to the river today .....¶ 

  • 17 November

    What a grey day, and wet too - this is quite a bit brighter than the original.  Who was it?  I called it a Pheasant at first, and indeed the Pheasant was seen unmistakably later, on the ground near the feeders.

    Flooded again:

    18 November

    There's even less of the plants in the "Flooded again" snap visible today.

    Sunshine !!!

    ???

  • Thanks, Scylla, love the pics, especially the sunshine pic.
  • I just underline what Gardenbirder has written and add my thanks Scylla
  • MC. It was indeed a Buzzard, confirmed by Heather during the discussion and when it flew off.

    Thank you for your updates!
