Meet WS's Birds

After looking at the BBC's Garden Bird site I posted in PPH's Our Feeding Stations. I decided to see if I can get a photographic record of the diffent species of Birds that visit us. So here goes with the first few
The Chaffinch

The Blue Tit

The Female Great Tit

The Long Tailed Tit

Great photos and a great idea WS. I especially love the chaffinch all puffed up - they are lovely birds, in fact they all are. Looking forward to your daily posts now.

Lai

A brilliant thread WS, Love this one. I really like that little Chaffinch too, he is gorgeous, they are so cute looking, all fluffy and puffed up, a pretty little bird I think.
I too look forward to seeing all your different visitors.

brilliant photos WS

look forward to seeing more

A few more. There's more than one of the Pied Wagtail, I could'nt decide which one to put on

He looks really cold on this one

Tha Male Great Tit

Some of the 20 odd Sparrows that visit us


WS

WOW that's a lovely array of birds you're getting there.
Brilliant photos, keep them coming

I especially love the Pied Wagtail WS - they are such funny little birds, always so inquisitive and don't seem to be that shy - he does look a little cold there doesnt he?

Great photos - thanks WS.

Lai

Awesome pics again WS. I too love the second pic of the Pied Wagtail, he really does look cold but what a lovely bird. Really enjoying these pictures

Great pics WS. You get alot of variety. As soon as I can find the battery pack for the camera we will hopefully have some to put up of our visitors. Keep them coming.

I manged to get a couple of shots of the Coal Tit to day, he's a bit elusive

He's eating the Sunflower, and Wild Bird Food I put on top of the Bunker


WS

Coal tits are very jumpy and flighty WS - you did well there to get a photo

Lai

I thought I'd got a Humming Bird with this one

What you doing eating my Breakfast

You'd look this Glum, if you were sitting out here in the cold

Coal Tit, or Blue Tit us little Guys should share, and stick together

WS

Aaahh they are lovely WS. I missed the coal Tit yesterday, he is lovely and I so love the impression of the hummingbird, thats a brilliant capture. Your little visitors are so gorgeous but they also know where they are well off don't they They must be so ammusing to watch and give hours of pleasure.

I just love to see all the different types of birds. We don't get a variety like that so love to catch up on the different birds people have visit

Got another species today, I think there's only a couple more, then I've got them all
The Collared Doves

WS

I do like Doves WS, they seem to ooze serenity I think and they look such soft birds. Love the picture, you still have a lot of ice around don't you.

You're doing well there WS with all your different birds, it's lovely to see what a variety of visitors you have.

Lai

they are great pictures. I am having lots of trouble getting pictures of my little birds. they are just so fast and don't stay around long enough. I was thinking of maybe getting one of those motion activated cameras that you see the wildlife photographers use. I could leave it running while at I'm at work and see the results when I get home

That's an idea PPH - sometimes I have to be very patient to get photos and often I am way too slow!

Lai

Managed to get another this morning. Our first Starling, it's a bit dark, but it was early morning


WS

great to see WS - we still don't have any starlings, but we did have a mistle thrush on top of the apple tree

Lai

It's strange Lai, we used to have loads where we were before, which is about 7 miles away. Here though we hardly see any, I'm wondering if it's because of the area. There were lots of houses where we were, a bit more urban, now we are on a farm, and its more Rural. So I'm thinking do they keep more to Urban areas.
WS

Good thinking WS - you could be right. A few years ago we used to see a few but recently I've not seen any which is a shame.

Lai

We have lots of Starlings here WS, maybe it's because we are semi rural. They are the ones who are always on my feeder but they do grab the food. I haven't seen many little birds, we seem to have the Starlings, Blackbirds, magpies, Seagull and a few Pigeons. I have seen a Robin and I am feeding food that Robins like in the hope he will reappear. I actualy love that photo, its a kind of silohette (sorry spelling is dire thats deffo not right )
