"Odds & Sods" (old version) - please add to the new thread 2020 instead !

THIS THREAD IS NOW DISCONTINUED,   please add to the new 2020 thread HERE

Often we don't have enough photos to create a full thread so thought I'd start an Odds & Sods thread where you may want to add a pic or two when you don't have enough for their own thread .    Feel free to add your rogues gallery here ! 

I only had a couple of pics today, one a Treecreeper and the other a very hacked off looking Great Egret huddled against the reeds trying to keep warm !

  • awww, what a beautiful video clip of the lollipops,  there's a lot around at the moment as they try to maintain their body weight in this terribly cold weather, bless 'em.      Always worry about the smaller birds as they need to eat more often and glad to report I saw our teeny goldcrest today so it's survived the Beast from the East :)

  • Very nice garden visitors! I'd love to have wagtails and LTTs in my back garden but the latter is always passing by rather than staying for long.

    I went out to the city centre park again and found some lovely Redwings feeding in the fields after the snow started to thaw today.

    This one found a juicy worm

    It was also lovely to see a pair of Song Thrushes too! But I have yet to see a Mistle Thrush this year. 

    Finally a very handsome Chaffinch posing on a lovely branch covered in lichen

     

  • This photo is especially for Wendy  -   I'll stick it up on a thread with other photos later a we visited the Wirral today.

    Kestrels like to live dangerously  LOL !!

    This fearsome lady came in on dusk yesterday so a bit grainy - she left empty clawed !       both photos taken through window

    and today I noticed a Dunnock having a sun bathe on a mossy rock by small pond !
