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

    Invasion of the Blackbirds Nige...no one can complain about them because they were quiet Wink...was a thrill to see a newby but hope it returns for a better picture!

    Wow, so many blackbirds, I think you have a mixture of young and moulting blackbirds Linda, along with the Thrush and young Bullie of course. Fantastic, lucky you,........no need to compete with Nigel crawling around on your belly though!!!!

    Lot to learn

    Brilliant set Linda and what a lot of garden visitors you had and array of species including the lovely Blackcap pair and the warbler ( possibly Chiffchaff ? ) but will leave the ID to those in the know. Your garden looks amazing especially after a good dose of rainfall !

    Thanks Hazel.....Its certainly been busy...I was actually just in the kitchen taking pictures of the fox aswell...at this time of day!!! All the plants are doing well except the butterfly trees I planted...ground is too soggy so will need to get some wetland plants for there.

    What a spectacular array of birds! I love the Blackcaps, male and females. The wind certainly hasn't scared them off. Jealous of the lovely green grass....must be well watered!
