Tight grip
This Great Spotted Woodpecker seemed determined to make sure he wasn't going to fall off this peanut feeder!! They really make the best use of their well-designed tail sometimes, don't they. I think it's a male, just didn't get a good view of the nape, but just one shot showed a little and I...- delia todd

All tied up!
I've not featured a Blue Tit for a bit, but took the opportunity to do so with this one that's eating peanuts from a coconut!! Also to show the lengths we had to go to to protect the feeders from the pesky Jackdaws. They were pretty destructive as overnight they got into the feeding area and...- delia todd

Singer
Arriving on Patch, the first bird encountered was a Linnet, sitting on a roadside fence. I used to see loads of these until they grubbed out all the gorse lining the road. There's still a few around, but nothing like the numbers since before. Not sure if this is a scruffy adult male, or a young...- delia todd

Two young ones
On the way up to my patch we pass through a farm (house on one side of the road, barns on the other). So of course there's overhead telephone wires which the Swallows just love to sit on, especially the fledglings waiting to be fed. Though I was actually disappointed, at the end of June, to...- delia todd

Looking benign
This one doesn't appear to be such a bully boy in this picture I don't think. Though Great Tits sure know how to defend themselves and hold their ground (except maybe from Blue Tits LOL)- delia todd

Joyous time
What a great time is to be had birding during the early summer months, with the babies leaving the nest and watching adults tenderly feeding their youngsters. Here's an adult Coal Tit with his fledgling. Appears to be some fat is the choice.- delia todd

Ground feeding
There are a number of feeders at the feeding station in the woodland at Kinnordy. As well as topping up some of the feeders when we go, we usually scatter some seeds on the ground round about. A Robin approached through some stinging nettles and appeared to be quite unscathed!- delia todd

You need to know your mum!
A fledgling Coal Tit seems to be screaming for the Blue Tit to feed him!! Guess he can't remember what his mum looks like. Or just hopeful perhaps! Saturday Fun My browser collapsed this afternoon and I just remember I'd not actually posted this before it happened. Had to start all over again!- delia todd

Marshy
It was a good raptor day for me on that mid-June visit for a Marsh Harrier sat in the tree on the far side of the loch after hunting in the marsh on that side. Only a record shot really as it was so distant, but at least you can make out what it is.- delia todd

Red comes in
Red Kites are really spreading throughout this area now and, although not daily sightings, we do come across them pretty often, even had two on my patch the other day! They are still the highlight of the day when we do see any! This one gave me another chance to practise a flight shot.- delia todd

Practising
I still practise flight shots when I get a chance. Some of them work and, although this Grey Heron was a little distant (way over the other side of the loch), it didn't work out too badly I think.- delia todd

Good balance needed
When going to our different feeding stations I like to spread the food around quite a bit, so as well as the actual feeders, we put some on fence post, and connecting rails, on any flat bits on the gates and also scattered on the ground around and the road (no traffic). The male Blackbird this...- delia todd

Excited?
I see this Blue Tit has erected his crest, as if he's got excited over fat balls LOL. Strangely, back in June when this was taken, we could hardly keep up with filling the fat ball feeder. Now, they're not interested in these plain ones and will only eat the ones with the black seeds in. My...- delia todd

Escort
I suddenly became aware that, unusally, there were two Great Spotted Woodpeckers around. Eventually I discovered that an adult male had brought a juvenile with him to show him where he could get some food. Excitement of the week that!!- delia todd

Oddity
It was pretty quiet on patch that day, the only other picture I have for you is a Mallard which appears to have some domestic parentage, as he looks rather odd, don't you think. I can't remember seeing another like it up there either before or since (so far)! I did see a Little Grebe in the...- delia todd

Mum and bairn
On the way up to my Up the Hill Patch, I usually pull in off the road and have a scan around, as it's really close to the patch, with this field actually joining onto it. Ken suddenly spotted a Roe Deer half way to the forest, so I had a look through my bins and could see not only two females...- delia todd
