Farewell visit
The last day of June and this was the last time we have seen the Red Squirrel at the feeders. At first I thought they might have young to raise, but they've still not been back. Much the same story at the other feeding station, no sign of one there either, for rather longer too. I rather fear...- delia todd

A tight squeeze
I just managed to squeeze the camera through a gap between a peanut feeder on the left and a large post on the right to get this picture of a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker. Both the feeder and post were well out of focus but I had enough pixels to be able to crop them out. This was one of...- delia todd

A Jay Day
Whenever a Jay comes near the feeding area I have to try and record the visit with a picture... this is his favourite initial perch where he seems to sit to check out if there's been a food delivery and if it's safe to approach. I'm sure he thinks he can't be seen there. However, intervening...- delia todd

The "Whaddayouwant?" Look
He seems to have learnt that look very quickly and has it down pat already!! Great Spotted Woodpecker Juvenile in the feeding area. I'm not sure if we have placed the feeders on the edge of two adjacent territories, as we've seen both male and female adults chasing off young ones, but being OK...- delia todd

Dunny
A bit late on parade as I've been out most of the day and then got news that my brother isn't feeling too good, not tolerating chemo too well by the sounds of it. Anyway was enjoying a Dunnock at our feeding station. Always a delight and so pleased he came right out into the open for once.- delia todd

What's going on over there?
A Eurasian Jay wondering if he should be going that way instead of the way he was heading!! It was still a thrill to get a jay at our new feeders, though they rarely used a feeder, preferring instead the peanuts which had been thrown on the ground where I can't get a picture LOL Not fair is it!- delia todd

I'm sure he's grinning!
Late June now, back from my holiday and supposed to be recuperating from an op. However it didn't go ahead sadly. So consoled myself with a visit to our feeders and the main species of interest was a Red Squirrel! I'm sure that's a cheeky grin on his face having pinched a peanut from out of the...- delia todd

Was anyone watching? The Eurasian Blackbird again, this time after he'd completed his high jump exploit, and obviously acknowledging the applause.- delia todd

Ready for take-off
The houses which front onto the canal on the opposite side to the towpath have private boat mooring privileges. This one has a series of breeze block ledges and is covered with a variety of old road (mostly) signs. There was a ledge just above this Eurasian Blackbird and rather than 'fly up'...- delia todd

A blob on a wire
When I see a blob on a wire I have to take the picture of it. Sometimes it remains a blob but this time it was a House Sparrow. Lunch in the churchyard was beginning to be productive. After I posted yesterday's picture, the young Starlings came back in their usual mob. They are now sporting...- delia todd

When you've got an itch!
When I was staying with my brother, it was very hot weather during June (does that seem a long time ago LOL}. With my brother's poor health and my walking difficulties, outings were not really what we wanted to do. So this day we decided to have a packed lunch and eat it across the road in the...- delia todd

Having a wander
I made the long journey down to stay with my brother and his wife in South Wales (we were going to my nephew's wedding in Sussex as part of my trip). Anyway, close beside my brother's house is the Brecon Canal and I did a short walk along it one day. There was a family of Mallards who'd come...- delia todd

Svalbard in June / July 2023
Hi all, I am returning to Longyearbyen in Svalbard (Norwegian Arctic) in the first part of June for about 5-6 days, to coincide with: bird migration and courtship (phalaropes, divers, king eiders, little auks), whales, walruses, and arctic fox activity. I may also return in July, with a...- Paul Collins

Mystery solved
I didn't have a suitable Saturday Fun image until I woke up this morning and spotted this Rook feeding on the coconut fat! For days I'd discovered the coconut shells were on the ground and couldn't understand how it was happening. Now I can see, so will have to make sure that top feeder tray...- delia todd

And then there were four
There was a real Blue Tit feste going on at that time, with the youngsters having been brought to the garden from the nest. Such a delight they were. TTTW- delia todd

True Blue
This beauty decided to have his back to me, whether he had a seed to chew on I'm not sure. That blue was stunning, maybe it was the way the light was on him doing that? TTTW- delia todd

Blooking Windows!
Not only does this one need cleaning, but Windows did an update last night and I've been trying to do something with this computer since 9am, lost count of the times I've re-booted it!! It does seem just a little more stable at the moment. Anyway how do you like my over-long Blue Tit for SF? TTTW- delia todd

Insecure
I think this is the only young Blackbird I've seen this summer. Some species really seemed to suffer with the poor weather during June. Probably not too long out of the nest. TTTW- delia todd

On dry land
I'd not seen any gulls around for a bit, so guess they were off somewhere else to breed. This guy seemed to remember where there was usually some food available and came for a tuck in. TTTW- delia todd

Toddler tantrum
The fledgling Blue Tits were brought straight to my window feeders when they left the nest. So decided it was 'their' territory. It's been difficult to count them, but there's generally 5 and on odd occasions I've had about 10 I think. This one looks really angry about something LOL TTTW...- delia todd
