          Well there was something buzzing or flying near me today, the remainder of yolk in this egg was still soft. I suspect it's a premature House Sparrow egg as they don't seem to be nest building under my roof tiles yet.

                  Spruce...... I'm still trying to get a decent shot of a Rook for Woo, he has a little trouble telling which is which of the Crow family. But there again he is an Owl and they're not his family. :)

                      These guys have been visiting the Nut Feeder daily while the Sparrows have been visiting the Fat Ball Feeder.

                            To be honest they are the "best" of a bad bunch of pics as the light has been mainly very poor, as we all know, due to the terrible weather we and the birds have been suffering. I very rarely go above an ISO speed of 1600 but even at that speed I was getting full aperture and sometimes less than 1/60th of a second shutter speed.:cry3::dunno::coffee:

                              The Sparrows who love the Fat Ball Feeder and sometime fight it out with the Blue Tits and the Long Tailed Tits.
