    Just catching up here.

    What is your cutie @Scrungee?

    Your pics always brighten my morning @strongyloden. Love that little White Sika.

      In the winter we get flocks of these cute little birds. They are Dark-Eyed Junkos, also called Slate-Colored Junkos and Snowbirds.

        @Victoria, Scrungee's bird is a Blue Tit.

        With the mist and low dark cloud I couldn't get any decent shots of the two Eider Ducks in Portland harbour. One is a juvenile male only starting to show some white feathers.
