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:-

Dawn Chorus this morning. Two Blackcaps on the highest point...….fantastic.
David said:Thanks Mike, went for quantity rather than quality this time to give an idea of the variety.
You're welcome

Mrs and Mr Blackbird on a worm hunt
Song Thrush also looking for grub
The goldfinch is now sitting on the nest - just about visible if you look carefully! Well camoflaged.

Not had much time in the garden over the last few days. Popped out this morning but not much about.
The Goldfinch is now well settled on the nest outside my bedroom
and looks like a Wren is building a nest in my beech hedge
hopefully more to follow!!
That's a damned good shot of the goldfinch in the nest David.
A few from yesterday. Lots of song today but no photo opportunities.
one lonely mallard on my pond. No sign of my usual moorhen family (i think mr. fox may be responsible)
Great tit singing from on high
warbler also singing - possibly a chiffchaff but song didn't sound right........any ideas?
another view.
Foraging Dunnock
Never can resist a Robin posing
Goldfinch eying up the territory
