Hedgecutter Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just got home to see this pair in my garden with heads different colour to their bodies. Any idea what they are (not the greatest resolution though)? Best guess so far is a pair of blackbirds that tried to pick seeds out of a tin of paint someone was using for a shed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie juveniles I reckon. https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/identify-this/278057/male-blackbird-with-brown-head 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Denny Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Came home from a quick spin on the bike.. made a coffee and sat at my desk and 'WTF?' .. a wee bird in the house.. It sat on top of the telly so a quick snap, sorry about quality (I cropped it) and it was a Goldcrest.. a bonny wee thing so closed room door quickly and opened windows wide and of it popped.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Blue-Faced-Honey Eater. I put my phone up on my front window and link my phone through to my computer. All I have to do is sit on my couch, watch for birds to land on my bird bath, and just click on my camera app. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a treat! Surprisingly loud singers. Out for a walk a few weeks ago, and there was a goldcrest singing in the tree above (didn't spot it) along with a raven croaking away at a distance of about a furlong. Was with my son, and I said to him, "Springfield's smallest bird meets Springfield's largest bird: Do Opposites Attract?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have the required quality of camera unfortunately; if only @sugna had been with us. Did the same walk yesterday, didn't see any ospreys but learned they have a nest in the trees on the south side of the reservoir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Our garden trailcam picked up a lovely wee male bullfinch eating seeds off a campion plant this morning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Miss Peggy. She is an amazing bird. We've had high winds on and off over the past couple of months which does not make it easy for her to find food. I'm not someone who feeds wildlife but I have been giving her some chicken hearts every now and again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Decided to sit and watch what was showing at the feeders today. We seem to be seeing more tree sparrows than house sparrows at the moment for some reason. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't shy about pilfering the sunflower and nut feeders. They are amusing to watch as they quite often hang upside down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
