What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

There were many garden birds too Jenny, Robins, Blackies, Chaffinches, Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Chiffchaffs plus a few 'late' Wheatears and dozens of Linnets.
Only one Thrush today Loli but none in the garden this year.

 

I still haven't seen a swallow, swift or house martin,

Should have sat on the cliffs at Winspit and watch the Swifts and Swallows coming in off the sea this morning, not quite hundreds but still large numbers.

Amazing that the newly arrived Swifts haven't landed anywhere since taking off from their nest last August/September, eating and sleeping on the wing for nearly 8 months!!!

 

It really is fascinating ..just how do those little birds do it,It must have been a marvellous sight seeing them back on terra firma

 

Good news from sunny Newcastle my Blue Tit family have returned from their family duties and are back at the feeders

 

Nice shot Shiney, Common Blue Damsels, as soon as they hatch, they mate.

Went on guided Nightingale walk yesterday evening with an RSPB friend, didn't see one but heard it singing even though we were a hundred yards or more away. Oddly they breed here just above the sea shore not in woods as they normally do.
A very pale Buzzard and a Yellow Hammer on our way to Burning Cliff, the Nightingale sight.

 

We've got lots flying around Woo, but they're not using the feeders at the mow, i think there is lots of caterpiler and insects about, why have old food when you can feed your young on fresh protein

 

Wow those are ridiculously brilliant pictures Armandii
