Birds you've seen today

I'm not sure what they were Sue , maybe you're right

It's a bit late in the year for swallows Lyn. My guess is starlings, some migrate and some are resident here. Jays are such beautiful birds, we have a definite lack of them in my area. Keep your eyes out on the berry bushes everyone, you might just see a waxwing, it's that time of year now!!

Thanks Andy, I don't know what they were, all I know is they were birds of some sort lol

They arrived quite late this year and went late too. I've had the morning off and popped down to the next village, Ellerker, for a little wander, as you do. I've seen a buzzard, 14 long tailed tits flocking with numerous bluetits and great tits, a linnet (gorgeous but camera shy lol) and a yellow wagtail. I love these crisp October days! I was very surprised to see a small tortoiseshell butterfly and a couple of common darter dragonflies, especially as we had a frost last night. A trip to the wetlands is in order this weekend, weather permitting....I think there's a good chance of seeing some fieldfares and redwings, not to mention the elusive kingfisher I've been trying to photograph all year!!!!!!!! I will get him eventually!

I promise I will Sue!

I've seen ZERO birds so far today, maybe due to the fact thats its still pitch black outside???LOL

Lyn!!
