Brilliant set of images Monty!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs Monty. I am always happy to photograph the woodland and back-garden birds they are more appealing to me than a lot of other species.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Monty. Locked indoors, the common species have been a delight to watch even if thro' a rain soaked window. Great set of images. FAB.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. You gotta love the locals.

Great post and beautiful pictures. Right now it is snowing with about 100 "local" birds feeding in my back yard.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, What a great post!! I agree with your sentiment entirely. I think every birder takes common birds for granted.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful photos Monty, I love seeing the 'ordinary' birds but then I'm not a 'birder' as such, just a lover of Nature although it is always a thrill to see something different.
ReplyDeleteUntil the beginning of this year I hadn't seen a Bullfinch in this area since I was a child, (when they used to be very common) so I think that illustrates your point perfectly, a bird which was once commonplace suddenly became a real thrill to see.
A most enjoyable post Monty with gorgeous photos.
A nice selection there Monty. Bullfinch is something I rarely see in St Ives.

ReplyDeleteLovely post Monty and great set of images. It is so true that we take the regulars for granted.
