What birds or bird have you seen today – communal thread, I hope!

[Gremlin]

I put up a feeder in my garder 3 days ago , Not a sniff No birds at all ?

Give it time, once they get used to it they will flock to feed

 

[Phil-D]

Beautiful day out on the moors, even the slight breeze felt warm, I nearly forgot it's still only March!

Out taking my 'daily exercise' and the Skylarks were in full song this morning, lovely to hear and see

Here's one from yesterday morning. Standing at back of garden. He (or she) wasn't around today.

 

[Darren]

I'm not really over the moon with the background it looks a little too sterile and bland, I'll have a play around tomorrow and see what changes I can make.

 

[Cobra]

I caught this in my back garden, just as the sun was going down.
(it was being reflected off the houses opposite)

 

[Ganton Gunner]

A Starling on a walk this evening... oddly enough it's the first one I've ever managed to photograph.....

A Jackdaw in the church yard. This was taken from my doorstep; in my search for wildlife I've always gone looking... Only on lockdown have I realised the churchyard is regularly visited by loads of Corvids. I plan on staking out the best angles/times of day for the foreseeable. I was fairly pleased with this as a first go.

Seen on today's walk. Not that great because I had the 105mm macro on but hey, it's a grey wagtail. The car is on the driveway of a house which is next to a stream. I have seen grey wagtails on the stream near the village before but very rarely. It's a male, and just before this shot it was hovering in front of the mirror having a bit of a go at its 'rival'. After this shot it flew towards the stream and didn't come back. Talk about right place right time.....

 

[gramps]

By the look of the mirror, it's been there before.

Yes. I couldn't see when I took the shot but once on the pc and cropped in....... definitely
