A beautiful staring in my back garden using my bird feeders.

That’s a nice shot John, I was actually admiring one just this afternoon. Not seen one in ages.

 

[JohnBW83]

Thank you. Yes very overlooked bird. Quite beautiful bird [emoji211].

Nice crisp image there John, they have been pretty prolific over the last few weeks here, not leaving much for the little birds, which is somewhat annoying.
They seem to eat everything they see


@Gremlin do you want me to point them to your neck of the woods

 

[JohnBW83]

On my feeders they only seem to be going for the suet and not really interested in the seed/fat balls.

“Excellent” shot, good pose with plenty of detail.

aye, the rain had just stopped, bit wet when he came for his tea. I think they look better when wet.

That`s a cracking shot John, very well taken and great colours. Agree with Gremlin, as I go and watch many 1,000s of these great birds swooping over and under the pier here in Brighton.

There have been some good sized ones not far from here in Wigan and Leigh. May try it one night.

 

[JohnBW83]

Yes. I usually pop over to Pennington Flash when I'm over that way.
