I haven't had any food out in my garden for a couple of months now (I know that's bad) so I decided to get out and get some seed. I filled the feeders up on Thursday and so far the visits to my feeders have been pretty good.
I have a good number of Goldfinch which have returned, Coal tit, Blue tit, Great tit and one of my favourite birds which I haven't seen around for a while a Nuthatch.
I sat in my conservatory this morning for a couple of hours and here are some of the shots I got.
Firstly a Blue tit.
Secondly a Goldfinch.
And finally my favourite of all garden visitors a Nuthatch, I took quite a few shots of the 2 birds which where around, these where the best of the bunch.

ReplyDeleteWicked set of back garden birds Mike. You're the envy of many with your Nuthatch :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky enough to get the North American variety in my back garden here , especially now the weather will turn colder.
Smear some peasnut butter on the tree trunks or branches. They LOVE it.
And what a return Mike! Wow impressed I'm Master ;-) The three last one are my favorite! They are fantastic shots. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, well defo try that Nick cheers, Im hoping to make a perch for the GS Woodpecker for better shots, fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI love your nuthatch! Looks just like our little Red-breasted Nuthatch. They are so much fun to watch and I love the color under the tail.
