It's definitely a Spring morning here today #bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #gardenbirds #scotland #fledgling #perthandkinross #Alyth

Three young House Sparrows on the fence, one far left with its back to us, the other two on the right, one looking right, the other below it, almost looking into camera

#Corvids behaviour! I might have mentioned our Jackdaw behaviour? One on the suet feeder, pecking at it, the other below, waiting for bits to drop!!! I've watched them learn, wonderful. #birds #birdphotography #bird #gardenbirds #nature #naturephotography #scotland #PerthandKinross #alyth

Bird feeder currently overrun by starlings with babies (always said in a Brummie accent in my mind) screeching their heads off. The jackdaw pops in now and then. #Starlings #GardenBirds

It's raining again. I love #corvids

1. I can't stand the rain
2. Why does it always rain on me? #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #gardenbirds #scotland #PerthandKinross

A black and grey Jackdaw standing on the fence facing into camera, it is bent forward, there is an angry look on its face, its feathers behind are all ruffled out and raindrops appear all around it

Is the coast clear? A Jackdaw in the garden checks its surroundings #bird #birds #gardenbirds #nature #naturephotography #photography #Scotland #alyth #PerthandKinross #Corvids

A Jackdaw perched on a thin branch, low to the ground, looking to our left, almost all black with lighter areas around the neck, its bright eye stands out. The uprights of a wooden fence appear as a backdrop

Not the best photo I took today in a technical sense but the best for personal reasons... I haven't documented Brown-headed Nuthatches in the yard since we lost the last of our oaks in Hurricane Katrina 19 years ago!

A Swainson's thrush stopped by for a dip in the pond. First one of the season!

This female Downy Woodpecker looks a bit tense, but it's because she's waiting on this branch for her turn at the suet feeder, and I think she's concerned about bigger liner-breakers coming along like the irritable Mockingbird that semi-regularly knocks her off...

An interesting morning for visitor yesterday 16th April. #bird #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #gardenbirds #wildlife #scotland #alyth #PerthandKinross

A female Brambling sits on a horizontal branch with her back to us, her head turned to the right, that eye visible. Her head is a blueish colour with paler streaks running from front to back, her side is an orange colour with flashes of white and black, a little yellow towards the tail feathers, her back looks scaled but is just feather pattern
A male Yellowhammer on the grass, the head is a bright yellow with dark brown streaks from the beak over the back of the head, the yellow mantle ends at the neck and the main body colour is brown streaks

I threw out an apple that I had cut into quarters. There are now 4 wood pigeons with a piece each. #GardenBirds #WoodPigeons #Wildlife

Back in September, this Lincoln sparrow demonstrated how to blend in with a railway sleeper.

A pine siskin looking down at me, knowing they are going to fly to warmer climes while I'll be stuck in a #yxe winter.... (back in September)

Mystery birds. I've been posting some shots of visitors to our garden as a wee fun quiz for those out there getting to know our UK birds, see how many you can spot / name? #bird #birds #birdphotography #GardenBirdwatch #gardenbirds #UKBirds #namethosebirds

My friend came back twice yesterday, the first time to hang out and look around, the second time at dusk to enjoy a delicious sparrow(?) up a spruce tree.

A hawk is sitting on the edge of a deck, facing the camera (nearly). It is showing off its stripey breast, yellow-orange talons, and its red irises.
