Blue Tit, Parus caeruleus
My Blue Tit was searching for minerals again on the wall.My Chafflady didn't really want to pose and hit from the camera.
Coal Tit, Parus ater.
My two Collared Doves, Streptopelia decaocto, have become one. The one Dove has come on his/her own lately, cooing loudly from the fence, I fear the worst. And this pair being the first and only Doves of any kind which I saw around the village in 27 years, it doesn't bear well for a new mate. The only other specie I have seen in Bantry was a Wood Pigeon, Columba palumbus, in the garden of Rehabcare.

Female Chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs
Female Blackbird, Turdus merula
My Song Thrush, Turdus pholomelos. Had 2 of these yesterday and today. A sign of cold weather!
It wasn't easy to get hold of one of my Great Tits, Parus major, but eventually it worked.
Dunnock, Prunella modularis
This Blackbird male, Turdus merula, is caled a 1st winter bird. Born last summer, he still bears the brown edges on his wings.
As is the case with this Jackdaw, Corvus monedula. again, note the brown feathers in its wings.
Rook, Corvus frugeliga
Pied Wagtail, Motacilla alba
Gorgeous pictures! I think we saw a dove today at the National Bison Range. At first we thought we were hearing an owl, but when we finally spotted the source, it looked like a dove. Thanks for sharing your pictures!
ReplyDeleteA good range of birds.
ReplyDeleteShame for the Collared Doves. Love the Rook.
