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:-
Hi Mike, yes tricky to catch in flight. I followed a Brimstone all round the garden the other day and tried to get it in flight but couldn't focus.
Did get a good Speckled wood a while back.
But always trying for the perfect shot!
Lovely photo.
Patience is a virtue as they say.

Today another couple of 1st's for this year.
Couple of distant Swallows
A Spotted Flycatcher (I think). Haven't had them in the garden for many years.
Used to be regular visitors.
Couldn't resist this Blackbird, so close to me i had to step backwards to get her in the frame!
Lovely grub.
Today in the garden.
Lots of Goldfinches around today. Greenfinch about but camera shy!
Large Tortoiseshell
Orange Tip
Luckily looks like the Spotted Flycatcher is staying around for a bit.
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Today's shots.
Spotted Flycatcher again.
Tree creeper still around. I can't resist taking more pictures!
Managed to track down the Greenfinch at last. Kept hearing it's song.
(although not much of a song!)
As it posed for me it would have been rude not to take it.
Lot to learn
Lovely clear photos again David.
