In my garden.....

So instead of starting a new discussion everytime I get new visitors or decent shots of wildlife in the garden I shall just keep adding to this one.

So today it was the Great Spotted Woodpecker, 2 of them chasing each other around the trees

Just managed to catch the 2 of them together

Then it was Woodpecker v Starlings....yes I see yous up there

Move out of my way as am coming up...

I said moooooove...

you were warned...

ah...peace to eat at last..

I Dont mind sharing with the dunnock though, just those pesky starlings I dont like lol

Dunnock, robin and thrush happily hopping about together

Gorgeousredwing still around

Flying without wings.....

I just like the different colours of the trees and sky not all grey for a change!

Mr & Mrs RRB (bad pic but it difficult to get them together)

and up last its a wee lollipop

Think that will do for today as I have probably bored you all long enough lol

    So I have been busy in the garden the past few days thats why the pictures and posts have been a bit scarce because I scare the birds lol.

    Manage to get some roses planted , a few shrubs and a red robin tree so hopefully the wildlife shall approve of my hard labour eventually!

    Woodpecker was busy drilling today waiting for me to get in the house so it could come down to feed...

    cmon get in the house sacry woman!

    Im starving!!!!

    I retire for some lunch so the birds can feed....and have a bath ...

    I get the feeling someone is watching me

    Mr & Mrs BB bathing together....

    Dunnock spoils the BBs fun!...

    Then poor wee Mr Sparrow needs a good scrub

    as his pristine Mrs watches from above

    How beautiful she is...

    I think she knows it too!

    she suns herself while Mr Sparrow collects nest building material...

    Mr Starling also doing some collecting

    And Mr BB collecting the lunch for the brood....

    Such a pleasure to see goldfinches as they dont hang about for long!

    I blend in well dont I ! Wink

    Hope you all had a lovely Easter.

    Who needs chocolate when we have such amazing wildlife to curb our cravings! Laughing

    Take care all, stay safe.

    Sorry you haven't been having the same good weather we have had here, it has been that dry I have had to fill up the pond again, and digging would be like getting into concrete. Probably that is why I had a visit from the blackbirds today, not bathing though, your pics are just lovely with both Mr and Mrs having a splash. Love the Sparrows too, looking so appealing.

    Lot to learn

    Thsnks Gaynor. Och we are used to having all seasons in one day lol...sounds like an early summer for the south! I had to fill up my pond aswell but not because of a drought but the wind blowing about my wee floating solar pump....waters the surrounding grass lol That is actually the first time I have seen a female sparrow...she is rather pretty.

    Been a quiet few days in the garden as the suns been shining and the wind blowing.....

    The Dunnocks are always flapping around...must have at least 5 now and they all like their showers...

    Lovely photos Linda, nice to see the Coal Tit. Rare visitor to my garden!
  • 15/04/2020 22:32
    I have never seen the Dunnocks in my pond area, they are always under the bushes or going over the lawn, so great to see yours having a shower. Lovely to see the Coal Tit and Great Tit too, great pics Linda.

    Lot to learn

    Thanks Gaynor.
    I think they use the pond to cool off with all the chasing and dancing they do! Right little chatterboxes aswell!...Not that I'm complaining lol

    A bit of courting going on today!

    Much to Woodys horror as he was trying to have a wee sunbathe in peace

    Terrible pic (wrong camera settings) but look at that big yawn!!!

    Pigeons will give any feeder a go!!!

    Another Mrs BB raiding my pond for material

    Oh my lovely greedy starlings...

    Covering all angles..looking for the magpies!

    Mr & Mrs Chaffi showed face today

    So everyone asking what about the seagulls...well one landed in my garden today for a drink....jeezo it was bigger than my pond!

    And as my neighbour hates bird poop well it was her fault they landed  again as she threw bread over her fence and a magpie picked it up and dropped it in my garden!.....Down came the big guys.....

    there was one.....

    then there were two...

    Surprisingly they shared their treasure bit of bread!!!!

    Oh how we all adapt lol

    I have told her bread is bad for birds and attracts the magpies! But she must think I dont see her throw stuff over the fence..into nomans land...put it in the recycle bin woman!!! 

    Well I hope the seagulls get a feed elsewhere now as they are scary big and very noisey....

    my dunnock trying to be tall and elegant

    And to finish.....my wee fuzzy lollipops

    Well thats another day done. Hope you are all safe and well.
