Birds in my garden

[Tersha]

Starting a thread of birds that see in my garden…

Thanks Robert.

We have a family of woodpeckers in and out the garden, here’s one …

[Stephen Thackeray]

Wow! You’re so luckty to have these in your garden! A very crisp shot, well done.

[Tersha]

Thanks Stephen, we have a family of them in the garden.

[LightandShadow]

Neat, colorful and nicely framed.  Do you have a blind set up

[Tersha]

Thanks Steve, no, I don’t have a blind… I have the camera in the conservatory, and shoot thought he window, or outside while I sit and drink tea. The birds are used to us, and bar sudden movements, just carry on as usual while we’re out there. The blackbirds run about our feet!

[Robert Apple]

A lot of European bird species look so different from their American counter parts , but these critters are very close in appearance, in this area they are considered a pest, pecking holes in houses and garages. And there is no shortage of them.
Having said that I’m going to echo Steve’s Comment.

[Tersha]

Thanks for the comments Robert. We feel very lucky to have them in the garden, things can be so different …. special to us, a pest to you. 🙂

Pheasant, an escapee from the shoot up the hill, he mostly lives in the garden …

[Robert Apple]

Does he eat your froglets Diane ( @tersha ), the ones we raised on the ranch would eat the toadlets when they would start moving.

[Tersha]

Hi Robert, probably he eats some, but he mostly hangs out around the feeders, whereas the froglets are released in an overgrown area with a small pond, with the hope they have shelter. Although obviously they must travel!

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Stunning birds Diane. You photographed them at the right moment 🙂

[Tersha]

Thanks Dahlia.

Love the beautiful textures on the bird Diane 🙂  Is that watermelon in the feeder?

[Tersha]

Thanks Dahlia, it’s not a water melon, it’s a pink berry fat slab, the birds love!

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Thank you Diane 🙂

[Anne Hornsby]

Wonderful capture, Diane!   I imagine the parent is saying ‘Hurry up, get on in there!”

[Tersha]

Thanks Anne, I imagine you’re probably right! 🙂

Havin’ a bath …

[Robert Apple]

That’s Cool,  we tried the Bird bath thing , but the dogs always drink all the water, or knock it over in the process, even though they have their own swimming pool.

[Tersha]

I can imagine! 🙂
