What have you seen

Hungry, stupid, mating season who knows.  Filled the feeders up this morning including putting out additional rations.  Temperature here is still -3C with a wind chill of -8C but birds seem happy enough.  I am expecting to see some Sparrow Hawk activity

White out, stuck indoors, tried to get pic's, not great.

Not seen Goldfinches doing this before....6 of them picking off the wall?

Never seen gold finches do it but we often have great tits do it

Me too.

After refilling the feeders and topping up the bird bath water, I managed to take a few pics of our garden visitors.

Excellent photos, Neveramsure.

We've enjoyed watching the garden birds this morning, but I'm hopeless at photography, so no photos from me!

Same here, Oneputt.

We often get great tits picking round the window frames, can't imagine what they are finding, but have never seen goldfinches doing it. And we do have Pendle's entire population of goldfinches in our garden, or so it seems.....😊

Just had a thrill of a Curlew land in the garden, unfortunately by the time I got the camera it moved out of site until, it flew off.

We've had a Lesser Spotted W'pecker on the nuts this morning. We don't have them in the woods behind us, just GSW, but this one must have been foraging. Also had 2 Lapwings inspecting the seeded area but they didn't land and flew off. First time I've ever seen a Lapwing over us, although we did have 2  pairs nesting on farmland about half a mile away a few years ago.

Topped up the feeders this morning and broke the ice on the pond. The birds have not stopped feeding all day.

All our usual visitors, but had one rarer visitor late on, a Mistle Thrush, not seen one in the garden for many years
