#BirdofTheDay #LongNecks #photography

Our local grey heron

A grey heron standing on one leg facing to our left. There is a low stone behind him and a large flat stone on which he is standing. These form part of the weir where he looks for fish etc. The heron’s long neck is visible.

#BirdofTheDay #wings #photography

A chaffinch and a siskin in a squabble

A chaffinch with russet body and grey head is in flight to the left of the image. We see its right wing fully extended behind and above its body. In front of it is a yellow and green siskin on a yellow feeder which is filled with sunflower hearts. It is gripping the feeder with its feet and reaching with its body in the direction of the chaffinch, wings extended and beak open, letting the chaffinch know it isn’t ready to relinquish the feeder position yet.

#SquirrelSaturday #photography

Seen in our garden on different occasions.

A red squirrel in a cherry tree is holding on to a branch with its front paws and pushing its nose up into the air. White chest and tummy.

A red squirrel on the top of a wooden fence with long furry ears standing up, looks down upon another one on a squirrel feeder eating nuts.

A red squirrel in the rain looks over the top of a wet wooden fence. It is to the right of the image looking half left. Only its head and shoulders and front paws can be seen. Rain falling can be seen.

A red squirrel with long ears runs along the top of a wooden fence. Its front paws are in the air and its wee mouth is open. It is running from right to the left of the image.
