It’s February 2nd and the weather isn’t that great but at least there’s decent light for my wanders and photography. I’m constantly saying it but it’s very true; we are so lucky with the bird and wildlife around us, I don’t even need to leave this seat sometimes and I can get great shots of … More Feeding in February
Into February It’s been a very varied but mostly wet and windy January / February, as I type this there’s a decent breeze blowing through and the wind and snow of the past few days drove a lot of birds to our feeders. Good for me maybe not so great for them? I was seeing … More Garden Birds 2025
Our garden visitors in early January. It was an unusual Winter visitor that kicked me off photographing our garden birds this year. The grumpiest Fieldfare I’ve ever encountered! (That’s not many by the way) 🙂 We have quite a few Great Spotted Woodpeckers that visit the feeders, in 2023 a pair brought their young for … More Garden Birds 2025
January 22nd – Since we’ve retired, we’ve lost all of our daily drivers; must get up for work; got chores to do; Breakfast / lunch / Dinner time …. and we’re loving it, apart from never really knowing what day it is, what time it is 🙂 Is that such a bad thing? Anyway, I … More Nuthatch Freeze!
This would appear to be the first date I went back up to the feeding post, which is a good thing for you all, way too many shots from this area. That said, I do love just standing up there watching and listening, so much to see and it’s usually very quiet and peaceful. … More January 21st
Where we now live has almost 360 views, being on a hillock with dips to front and back, it has allowed me fantastic access to skies I may have previously missed and some natural events I most definitely would not see in our previous, limited urban skyscape. What that means is, I spend quite a … More Into a new year
Since I walked up to this area last year, I’ve been keeping an eye on it, we drive by most days and I now walk up to or by it most days too. Because I discovered Nuthatches up there, I decided to try leaving out a food mix to see what might come down to … More The old Oak feeding post
I have a few varied shots gathered in December so I thought I’d put them together here to highlight some of the variety to be seen and photographed. I’m hoping for a little more as the new year runs into Spring and Summer. I’m seeing more and more Treecreepers up there now. As I walked … More An end of year collection
Now that I’ve discovered Nuthatches up in this woodland, I’m up there pretty often trying to get good shots of it / them. On my first visit I counted c6 birds coming down to feed, since then I’m pretty certain there’s only one or two. I base this on the number of visits, how quick … More Celebrating the Nuthatch
I went for another walk yesterday, this time into town which seemed a good idea at the time but, of course, it started raining on my way back. 7.8 miles, the last three in wet, misty rain, Ach well, there you go. A good walk, some decent sightings I think but, as ever, the editing process … More Down at the old Oak
