A few pictures taken after the invasion of a pack of Redwing.
But first, spot the Bluetit!

What have we here.... aaah yes, cotoneaster berries. |
Hi there. Yes, this is the first visit to Val's garden this year. Redwings visit at least once to pinch the berries. Well, it's no use going there when they've all gone, is it?
Okay, chaps, you eat while I keep a look-out
Tails, up, folks, I got one!
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe!
Well, I'm all right, I found a sunspot! Excuse me while I sunbathe for five minutes.
You have to be a bit of an acrobat to reach some of the berries
Back to back means you don't miss anything
See what I mean?
Look right...
No, look left....
Are you sure?
Yes... got it!
I've gone off the idea of sharing?
Look at that lot; eat, eat, eat, that's all they can think of.
Good job they can't see my secret hoard of crabbies!
Oh my, an intruder!
A flippin' blackbird!
Where?
Aww, take no notice! Let's eat!
One final pose before we go!
Marvellous photos, Valerie. Spotted the blue tit on low branch.
ReplyDeleteValerie ~ what a fun time you had watching the birds in your garden. Thank you for sharing them. You will enjoy Elephant Child's blog from Canberra via mine. She is always including Australian birds.

ReplyDeleteHA! Valerie, what a charming post!

Ron, thank you. The birds were actually too close to the house for decent pictures, but haha I tried x
ReplyDeleteCarol, I just had to get pictures of the redwing ... they don't visit very often.
ReplyDeleteBrian, it WAS a bit of fun.
Paul, thank you. Good to see you here again, you have been missed.
Ohmygosh....lucky you for being at the right place at the right time...with the camera!! Excellent. I have so much fun snapping away...and when 1 or 20 turn out, I'm thrilled. Great fun....thanks for letting us share in it. I love birdies!!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos, Valerie. LOVE your commentary too!
ReplyDeleteMost interesting to see so many unfamiliar (to me) birds. And Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHi Troutbuilder. Thank you, and a Happy New Year to you. I agree about the birds, I am always surprised at how different they are in other countries.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Valerie!
