What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

Well caught Loli a Great Spotted for sure Sheal, Lesser isn't much bigger than a Sparrow and a rare sight these days.

 

Woody is becoming a regular visitor these days
Another hurried pic taken through the window.....

 

My Goldfinches feeding.......I so wish the bleeders would sit still so I could get closer to picture them lol.

 

Don't they look smart in their Winter livery?

Dartford Warbler this afternoon, Morden Bog (Wareham Forest).
I heard him and had to wait a few minutes in the freezing cold, to show himself.

 

Wow Strongy, my first viewing via you , thanks,
what lovely colours,
Jenny

 

My first (and better) pic is in the Bird survey thread (last page) taken last April, they are here and can be seen all year round but difficult to see and even more difficult to get a pic.

 

Brilliant Strongy

 

Thanks, here are a few more (what more!!!!) of my trip to Arne today, it had warmed 'up' to -1c when I got there, four hours later it was a tropical 3c
not the full number of Avocets yet but about 3/400.










A few Dunlin were feeding too.


Lots of Brent Geese.


Some very difficult to photograph (with my camera at least) Goldcrests.

 

This Buzzard flew over and settled in a tree just behind us, couldn't resist a pic.
Upton Country Park, Poole.

 

Fantastic Stongy

 

He wasn't quite as pale as he looks only he was facing a very low sun.

 

Super photo Strongy'.
Only times I've been close to one perched I didn't have a camera!

 

Dave, we saw a Buzzard on a fence roadside while driving to Poole yesterday and both commented about the times we had seen them close (like you) but never able to get a pic. Then the above one appeared on our walk!

 

Had our first (brief) visit from a Redpoll yesterday, hopefully not the last, didn't stay long enough for a mug shot.
That makes 31 different species seen in our first year here and that's without a Herring Gulls, Rooks or Redwings which are around.
