I may have mentioned before? It’s been really dreich here for ages now, possibly weeks. The sun peeps through now and again but essentially it has been grey, overcast, cloudy and pretty chilly, not great for photography, not great for walks but I’ve still been getting out and about. … More Dreich days of December
I’ve just come to realise that there is a set of birds out there that only appear in the garden as the weather begins to decline, maybe not decline, the temperature drops perhaps. I’ve spotted a (the) Mistle Thrush a couple of times now, a pair of Brambling dropped in on Sunday & Monday and … More They call me the Creeper
I am very lucky to have a great selection of regular garden visitors to the feeders and now and then, a less common visitor might drop by but I don’t think I have any favourites, apart from maybe colouration making them more pleasing to photograph and share. … More Cedric & Calliope Dine Out
Our garden visitors! I’ve posted nothing since June!!!!! Really? … More I have been remiss!

Red-legged Partridge I have mentioned that we live on a farm, in the country haven’t I? Hence we get Pheasant and Partridge in the garden, which is nice. Both species of Partridge drop in now and again and we see and hear them in the surrounding area quite often, this is not a hunted area! … More Our Garden Visitors (R)
We’ve now lived in this rural location for just over three years and in that time I’ve had so many fabulous photographical experiences. Birds I thought I’d never see, live in our hedges. Raptors I wasn’t aware of can be seen, some yet to be photographed. A pair of White-tailed Eagles flying over my head. … More Finally!
Well, who’d have thought it? No N or O birds visit gardens, certainly not this garden! So right on to P and there are a couple that drop by from time to time, keeping in mind, we live in the country and on a working farm. Pheasant Yes, we get Pheasant among our garden visitors, … More Our Garden Visitors (P)
