Busy Day in the Garden Today

I think it must be the Spring sunshine, but my garden and feeders were very busy today. Courting Woodpigeons and Collar Doves, Dunnock,Bullfinches, Tits chasing each other, a greenfinch.A few pictures of what I did manage to catch.

  • Oh dear, I can't see your pictures.

    This is now totally unacceptable.

    Cheers, Linda.

  • Hi Birdwatcher, Lovely pics, my garden has been busy too, the food has been disappearing at a hell of a rate, my collared doves have decided not to leave my garden in the day, they go from sitting on the floor all puffed up, to having a feast on the seeds I put down, and drinking from the birdbath between meals, then going back to just sitting on the floor under the rose bush, occaisionaly going off for half an hour, then their they are sitting on the floor again. They are so sweet how they stick so closely together, and such gentle birds, they are fast becoming a favorite of mine, I love them.

    There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

  • Hi Birdwatcher,

    I can see your lovely pics now. The bullfinch is gorgeous, but so are all the others. The more I photograph my own dunnocks, the more I appreciate what lovely birds they are, and much over-looked. You have had a busy day (and an expensive one with all the food!!). Thanks for sharing these.

    Cheers, Linda.

  • Hi Birdwatcher,

    Lovely photos, thanks for sharing them.  Nice to be able to see them for a change!

    I like dunnocks too, they might be LBJs but they are very attractive anyway.  I'm jealous of the bullfinch.  Haven't seen one here since last winter.  Lucky you.

  • Is the top one the bullfinch?  It's very handsome.

    What is the bottom one?

    Great photos; you must have a good camera, very zoomy. 

    I'm so jealous of everyone here who manages to take such good snaps of the birds, I don't think I would ever be able to do it even if I did have a nice camera.

    Hi Badgerbread,

    Well I cannot see the pictures today !!!
    Yes the top one is a bullfinch, I have a pair visit daily. The last one is a crow - I think. Its not the best camera in the world but good enough for my purposes
