Collecting photos of some of my garden visitors. Thought I would share them and add more as ||I get them. Isolation giving me more time!
Lucky the sparrowhawk hung around long enough for a few shots
Jay a regular visitor
Surprised the Fieldfare and Redwing are still in the garden
Low flying Buzzard
Couldn't resist tis one!
New to my garden (in 35 years) pair of Treecrepers
Very distant Red Kite
Lovely song thrush (which I mistook for a Mistle)
Now a few of the regulars:-
Lot to learn

One one Woodpecker photo opportunity. Early morning
Up in my wild bit of the garden I keep hearing a calling from the bushes. So camera at the ready I wait patiently. No bird sighting but plenty of other interesting creatures!
Some Skipper......not sure which!
looks from my book to be a Gatekeeper. Could be wrong though
this one could be a Ringlet
Finally a sighting of the mysterious Warbler.....turs out to be another Chiffchaff
Yesterday and today....so far.
Not the best light but nice couple of Blue Tits
House sparrow who looks like i feel first thing in the morning.
Young Greater Spotted
....and a couple more Chiffchaff shots ( which again took ages to get)
This morning, lots of bird song but no photo opportunities.....so who is always on hand to help out!
Then in flies a Pied Wagtail
Distant Greenfinch high up in the dead elm tree
Formation flying. About 50 starlings, My big lens only captures a few!!
Then they all land together in my Walnut tree, with a huge amount of singing
Not sure if it is mum and dad with the youngster or they are just sharing a good perch.
