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 !

A wee bit of brightness on a very dark day. :-)
My bird photos HERE
Lot to learn
A nice little bird to catch amongst the bullrushes ... when we last had this big bright ball in the sky

Probably the most ungainly thing I've seen (and heard) ……. Mr Pheasant trying to fly into a bush, I'm guessing for evening shut-eye purposes. Perhaps he was flying with his eyes shut!!
This made me so happy today. GSW have been missing from the garden since 2013, so to have this male on the feeder today was wonderful. I used to have a breeding pari visit regularly and often bring their offspring - sadly they stopped appearing after the snowmaggedon in March '13 and I have to assume they perished. Hopefully numbers are building back up

That's very good news, CinJ, and good to see you back here again!
Kind regards, Ann
Redwing still down the garden, though a dearth of berries will see it soon depart I guess
Lovely updates everyone and good to see the different species. I was at the Wirral today, both Parkgate which was rather too quiet apart from a distant Marsh Harrier and then on to Little Neston where I bumped into a birding friend I had seen on previous occasions and we got chatting - as you do ! ………..so much so, I didn't take any photos all afternoon ! except a distant cropped shot of a Fieldfare which was in a group with other Fieldfare and Redwings and Song Thrushes.
To be honest, everything today, including views of a SEO quartering the marshes were far too distant for quality pics but it was a lovely day out in the sunshine nonetheless, with not a hint of a breeze or more importantly …. rain ! the only downside apart from lack of photos was the usual 35 min. drive home took an extra 1hr 40 mins due to M56 crawl after an earlier accident.
This is all I got you and that was a long way off in the middle of a field ............so forgive me lol should be on bad pics really !
