Eventually I caught it in one of the two ornamental trees at the other side of the wall.
Redwing, Turdus pilaris
The weather soon got worse again, and I didn't think I was getting another chance to see it. Yet I was wrong: I'd been washing up, and as I returned to the laptop on the kitchentable, I suddenly spotted a Redwing, just as it was going to fly onto the ground.Redwing, Turdus pilaris
Robin, Erithacus rubecula
Jackdaw, Corvus monedulaCoal Tit, Parus ater
Great Tit, Parus major, rooting for invertebrates, which might be hidden among the wood of the support or among the dead growth of the Bindweed.
This Blue Tit, however, was looking among the cold steel/iron of the large fence which separates us from the school yard. Was it looking for Insects at this time of year, or was it looking for a drop of moisture perhaps?
Blue Tit, Parus caeruleus
And at last, two of my Song Thrushes, Turdus merula
Today, the weather has returned to normal: Rains and Galeforce winds. That's how the winter here is supposed to be.
That last photo of the songthrush is crystal clear yoke. Lovely pics of the redwing too - they're seriously in nearly every tree around dublin - along with the fieldfares.
ReplyDeleteYou caught them right, especially the last two. Well done Yoke.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Yoke. I do like the one of the Jackdaw.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys;
ReplyDeleteSiobhan, I'm glad you like the photos. I still have not seen any Fieldfares around the village yet.
Bob, sometimes lady luck is on our side.
Carol, the Jackdaw was for you specially. The Corvids have been left out a little recently, on the blogs, anyway.
