Great Crested Grebes have been quite numerous on the main Flash. With some fast developing juveniles around too, it seems to have been a good year for them, or maybe its just an average year and I have noticed too much before. Either way they are always nice to watch.
Greenfinch have been in good numbers too, and this is something I've noticed in other parts of Manchester and Cheshire too. This is good, as some years back they were quite hard to come by.
A Jay came down to greet me as I parked the car. They'll be getting busy soon to stash food for the winter.

Oh, tyo me they are too attractive to be ordinary. ;))
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE having a jay like that greet me at my car as I parked. All are great bird images this time [as always] Adam.
ReplyDeleteThe jay is stunning!
ReplyDeleteA Green finch!! We have lots of Finches but I never heard of a green one..Nice pictures Stewart..
ReplyDeleteThe jay is a beautiful bird and often seems underrated.
ReplyDeleteWhere are most of your photos taken? I often see birds which are unfamiliar to me.

Hi Adam,
ReplyDeleteThey are all beauties - I liked the Jay the 'best'.
Great finds and snaps!
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
I love the colouring of both the Jay and the Lapwing.
ReplyDeleteWill these birds migrate come Autumn?
You're so lucky living in an area with many species - I would love that.
Nice pictures - I was surprised at how many GCG's I saw when I was back in the UK - they must be doing better than 20 years ago. Well, I hope so.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
That Greenfinch is adorable, Adam. Great pix!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely series of beautiful birds. I particularly like the Great Crested Grebe.
