A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BIRDS

For the last two days I have taken a walk through through the lane at the back of the house, as this seem to be where most of the local bird activity is taking place. One field at the top of the lane seems to be the most popular, I suppose this contains a good source of food,as Blackbirds and Redwings forage  in the snow and smaller birds move through the trees around the hedges.
So below are a selection of images taken over the two days.



BLACKBIRD
There were about 15 of these in this one field.



I SAW IT FIRST
Territorial squabbles took place on more than one occasion.




WOODPIGEON.
Some just could not be bothered to watch the goings on.




REDWING.
Others watched with interest.



ROBIN
Some were luckly and had grandstand views.



COMMON BUZZARD.
Maybe there will be a meal at the end of this.




COAL TIT.

Silly birds let them get on with it " Now where is that grub "

  3. Wonderful pictures, Monty. The two birds fighting is really a great shot, great contrast with the black birds and white snow.

  5. A lot of that squabbling going on Monty.
    I put apples out on the lawn and they are being closely guarded by 1 female Blackbird that won't let anyone else near them.

  7. Love the Blackbird shots, the Robin is cute too.
    I see some birds here too, I just never get close enough to take pictures. They are very shy around here.
