......and it really is no joke for the birds in this weather. I spent a half hour stood right next to the feeder in the garden and the birds were so hungry they paid little attention to me, as long as I stood still. Managed a garden tick in the form of a
Snipe flying overhead. But here is a bunch of garden bird pics:
and we start with
Blue Tit which is an infrequent visitor to the garden, there are about so I suspect they are getting their food at a more desirable feeder, still the snow has pushed a couple to us
Dunnock and always here
Now this is a Teapot Cottage rarity,
Chaffinch, only had a handful of these in the garden since June
This isn't a rarity in the garden, we have a small group of around twenty
House Sparrows always present
Just as I was about to go back inside there was an attack of
Long-tailed Tits, eleven of the fantastic little birds had a one minute feeding frenzy and then flew off
the suet snowman under attack !
The only regular Tit, is
Coal Tit and I think there are four different birds using the feeders at the moment
a visiting
Great Tit
and last word to the dominant species at Teapot Cottage -
House Sparrow
