140/366 Sparrows

Yes, Yes I know. Definitely not Sparrows in the picture. But, I have a plan. A long time, well about 2 -3 months ago, I put a bird feeder on the edge of the patio. the intention was to attract the sparrows. Have they responded by consuming the very nice seed I loaded the feederContinue reading “140/366 Sparrows”

126/366 Magpies & Ships

When the birds condescend to attend the bird table whilst I am watching it, it’s either the pigeons or the magpies first. Now, if it is the pigeons, they are a little bit hesitant, obviously mapping out the garden to make sure there is no risk to them.

124/366 Squirrel

This was around lunchtime. I’d put food on the table early, and hadn’t had a chance to check it, but it hadn’t taken the squirrel long to find it.

I suppose the first thing I should say that although the post title is Starlings, the photo isContinue reading “114/366 The Starlings”

12/365 The Bird Table Redux

The bird table is at the bottom of the garden, I can’t see it from the office, so I miss out on activity on it. I installed a Neos camera and bought a cheap tablet to watch it. I haven’t quite worked out how to get photo’s from it to my collection – easy withContinue reading “12/365 The Bird Table Redux”
