Interesting light

Took this photo early in the morning. As can be seen the light is coming from the left. I pressed the lens right up against the net curtain. Has given it quite a nice affect. The different colours in the background is reflected light from parked cars.

Yummy Mealworms

This cheeky little thing thought it would have a tuck in before the hedgehog came for supper. Just love the way it is balancing on the edge of the dish.

Was Playing

cat and mouse with this little thing. It kept darting out and back again. But with more patience than a saint did manage to get this.

Its a cute little thing, and is very welcome...in the garden that is.

Rooks.

The rooks are beginning to come into the garden a lot more now. No doubt when eggs are hatched will have even more. They are quite bold birds, but argue a lot when there is food around.

Pied Wagtail.

The regular Pied wagtail was surveying the garden this morning from a vantage point.

Flew up on to the fence post to get a better view. Stayed quite a while. Not often they will pose for a photo.

Song Thrush

Today i got this photo of a Song Thrush that came in to the garden for food. To me i would say it is a new one. Dont look the same as the one below, at least not to my eyes. If it is a new one, is more than welcome into the garden.

I hope it will make my garden its regular place.

New Arrival

Today seen the arrival of a new bird to my garden. When it came in had its back to me, and i thought it was the female blackbird that graces my garden. Then it turned around, and could see it was not a blackbird but a song thrush. By the time i had gotten the camera it was gone.

I was more than happy to see it return. Went to the banquet dish first and took a tasty dried mealworm. Then it went to another tray and took some dried fruit and then some nuts. Was ready with camera, but due to failing light and slow shutter speed, not the best of pics. Has a little camera shake.

This is the birdy banquet that i made up this morning. It has peanuts crushed as well as sunflower hearts. Together with some suet pellets, dried mealworms and sultanas.

Also has a selection of fruit in the form of green grapes, apple, red melon and white melon. Heres hoping i get some takers.
