Can anyone please confirm that you can see the 4x bird images on my Photobucket account ?

I took the first picture yesterday morning and made a shaky decision he was a chiffchaff.
The second picture was this morning and this little bird was only around briefly but caught my eye immediatly as his eye brow and underparts where a definite light yellow. I am guessing this was a young Willow.

Or have I got them mixed up.

Thanks

If I was forced to choose I would say Willow Warbler for both. Post the pictures on the ID forum and see what response you get.

Bad news re: Starling I'm afraid. It was found dead and has now been buried.

Finally got around to downloading my photos, so here are a few pics of the recent new visitors. Bullfinch & Coal Tit.

Tonight I decided to put the sunflower seed into an empty feeder I have and put some suet pellets into the green feeder in the pic, thought they might last a bit longer that way! A sudden influx of about 15 house sparrows, they love it, nice to see them getting a look in before the starlings no doubt find it tomorrow!

well done on getting the bullfinch photo, everytime they have been in my garden, havnt had the camera ready!

superb images from everyone, gives this thread some added spice. Dont worry about quality and close ups, its all about the variety of your garden/yard that keeps it very intresting to all.

I have to give credit to Mrs K for that one, I was occupied at the time and luckily she grabbed the camera for me, I did get to see it just before it flew off though!

Loads of house sparrows back at the feeder this morning, the suet pellets are still there so hopefully this method will conserve them somewhat. Last time I put them out on the tray and they were gone in 30 seconds, and im not exaggerating either! Goldfinch was back last night on the nyger, hadn't seen either of the pair for a while so that was nice. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I've dropped in here, had a bit of time where I didn't get much time for birding, then the winter weather doesn't help but I have been thinking about the forums, every now and then when I've seen a bird or two, and there's been a very noticeable mention in the garden of late. This last Sunday, we were sitting at the dining table eating lunch when my mum asked me what a little bird was out in the garden, perched on one of our rose bushes. The first thing I saw was a flash of red on a very small bird, when it turned around it became very clear that it was a diamond firetail finch. A beautiful, delicate, yet bold little diamond finch. I was ecstatic. They're widespread, but not that common and I've never seen them in a garden before, so it was a real treat. Since then, there's been a pair of them in our garden almost every day for varying periods of time. They're charming to watch and fairly tolerant of me being out there watching them, although I only have some dodgy photos, record shots

Otherwise, the garden bird activity is fairly usual, the only other thing I celebrated was when one of the rosellas landed on the branch I'd placed next to the bird bath with what looked like intent to use it, although the rowdy honeyeaters put it off.

Some bad photos, haha. =P
