Great shots there mate, I had some blackbirds nesting in my clematis last week, they had two eggs but something got to them and their gone now. I was really looking forward to trying to photograph the chicks.I had a pair of Spotted Flycatchers visiting one of my nest boxes,I've never seen them here before, I've been giving them a wide berth, I looked through the trees today at the box to see all the nest material hanging out of the opening, I guess a Jackdaw or something has helped itself to whatever was in there.

That's good to hear as they have been in serious decline, I don't see many in my garden.Just lately we just seem to have a lot of sparrows in my garden.

House Sparrows have done well with us this year, we didn't get many here but they have raised several broods and we usually have 20 or so birds at a time in a little flock around the garden.Just lately we just seem to have a lot of sparrows in my garden.

Nice shot. Hadn't realised just how pretty and colourful some of our native birds can be ...
Ring necked parakeets, there is a large colony near Richmond, though I understand they are spreading, whereabouts are you.
No, it's just confused.Is that rotated 90 degrees?
