A barn owl fly by was a special treat after weeks of blanks
Thanks I got a few but it has been hard work this year.Thats really nice.
Back to the bird pictures.
The blue tits are back. One is very picky, sits on the seed feeder for ages throwing seed out onto the floor until it gets to the particular seed it wants
Cheers - every days a lessonThis is probably due to the budget seed you are feeding them, from the picture it looks like wheat is the primary ingredient in the mix.
Pigeons are the only bird I know that eats it and even that is when there is nothing else is available.
Not today but from Sunday. It usually takes me several days to finish the editing.
One from a rather dull Slimbridge. I struggle with some birds in bright, high contrast conditions and the dull light helped tame the highlights/shadows, but then it's hard to make the bird 'pop'. Swings and roundabouts........... The pintails were quite obliging. Since the reflections weren't up to much I'm not berating myself for chopping a bit off it, as I normally would.

brilliant !Mr Grumpy
Ok after advice from you and @AHILL, I've swapped out the general seed mix from the big feeder for sunflower hearts. I picked up a small bag this morning.
We'll see how that does today
The tits have been heavily into the fat ball feeder
not the greatest picture - there were 2 of these in the middle of river swimming - -anyone have any idea what they are? ty
Where was this? It looks almost like a guillemot in winter plumage, but I could be completely wrong
