OK, it has been a really miserable day in the UK weather wise. Raining all day, so I thought I would sepnd sometime seeing what birds land in the garden.
I thought I would post a couple of shots here as I was pretty excited that a Spotted Woodpecker landed in the garden, (a Green Woodpecker also landed, but didnt get a shot, by the time I got the camera it had gone)
So, here are my shots, my challenge to others is to post some pictures of their garden visitors. Please dont worry about the quality of the shots, as you can see by mine, the quality is very poor. A combination of low light, high ISO, and slow shutter speed renders theshots poor, so, this is purely from an interest point of view.
I forgot about this one. She waddles into the back garden maybe a couple of times a year, struts back and forth around the various bark paths and eats up all the mess that's fallen from the fat balls and various other feeders. She hides under that Acer or behind the compost bins if anyone approaches.

does your gardens over look fields Pol?
Mainly mature trees, not especially rural behind us where she comes and goes, but there are fields and farms beyond the trees to the left of us on other side of the main road. I've no idea where the pheasant comes from! We have a high fences too - so we can't work our where she comes from or how she gets in and out? We've never had a male visiting - just that one female.
We've never seen her fly - she just waddles or sometimes streaks along the lawn like a Road Runner in a cartoon.
This little feller was doing all he could to get at my nuts. Had to take this through the double glazed door. He would have legged it if I had opened the door, so image a bit soft.
