Bits of this and that

Funny start to the day, I was late getting up but when I got to the kitchen there was a Goldfinch on the feeder. Now I have not seen many of these birds as they seem to just fly through. This one was perched on the feeder  just munching away. with Dove's all around.


Goldfinch 
  Then he went back to eating

Head down feeding
That was it as most of the birds stayed away all morning.

I thought I would go and see what Nor Marsh was like but I only got to Motley Hill.

The tide was coming in and for once the birds were  close in.

I took a few shots but they were really too far away. He is a selection of what I manage to keep.There is one shot with an unknown bird in it.

Taking off


The middle bird I need an ID 
 I have not found this one in my books yet

A swimming time



Up and away

That is it for today I hope for more tomorrow

    I don't know what the Gull is swimming or what the Black and white one is..... yeah... I know, that makes a change cos I fink I am pretty 'cool' about knowing my birds! I will ask OTL... he knows lots of useless stuff lol lol lol

    Trev, would it be possible to update the link to Mikes blog on your side bar? cos it take us to his old blog!... and while you are updating stuff ....could you change MY link name to read "Eileen's Outstandingly Wonderful Crafty Blog"...... it has more of a classic 'ring' to it I feel.... Wot do you think?

  4. I must investigate "Blog Of Chris".

    What luck with the Goldfinch Trev, waiting for the camera as he did, glad you managed to get the captures. Looks good weather today, so lots of luck.
    My knowledge of birds and trees is very limited and as I told you, our friend Gary is very into all the wildlife and it makes it very interesting knowing they have names.
    Off now to find Chris. (Before work, don't blame me if no dinner).

  8. Now who is confused, Eileen was talking about the link at the side of the page.

    The top bar is a bookmark and mine goes to the page that I started on! This applies to both mine and your's.
