Garden Goings On

Still in lockdown, still not going out with the camera. So I have resorted to poking the camera lens out of the lounge window on my lunch breaks, as I am working from home. Thankfully there is a lot of activity out there at the moment, and the cold weather is helping to keep the birds very interested around the feeders. Coal Tits and Long-tailed Tits are busy on the fat blocks, but far too quick to capture as I stand at the window. Blue and Great Tits are always around and the odd Redwing pays me a visit.

I tried to pick out the easy targets, and some of those happened to be the ground feeding birds.

Dunnocks are looking good at the moment.


Female Blackbird.

Not exactly a bird, but I couldn't resist this little guy.


Robin

A distant Treecreeper has been a nice surprise visitor on a few occasions. Tends to move around with the Long-tailed Tit flock. 

Long-tailed Tit. Apologies for the blur. I am hand holding without a rest or monopod.

  5. You do well with sighting birds out through the window! I've seen few birds around lately with the cold and snow we have been having!

  6. Nice photos! What you call a Robin is very different than robins here in USA.

  8. I like the long tailed tit. I see them around the garden but I've never managed to photograph one.
