We had a little more snow again today and I quickly snapped a few pictures (in poor light) in order to capture them before the snow melted. The birds were making the best of our bird feeder and we had quite a collection in the garden. I was unable to snap every kind that arrived looking for food, they tend to act camera shy and vanish as soon as I have got them in shot.

| All the smaller birds disappear when he arrives |
Magpies will take baby chicks from smaller bird's nests in spring, so he is not very popular with them.

| Robins are regular visitors and are very territorial, so he may be the same one we see most days |
The snow did go mostly during the day, but there is still a little left and the temperature is falling rapidly this evening so it could be icy tomorrow.
Wonderful photos Snafu. I love the twisted Hazel Such a great photo.
ReplyDeleteSuper pictures. Cute robin. Next year's Christmas card?
ReplyDeleteThe twisted hazel is very pretty,and on close up, I think I can see at least one little sparrow! The robin is lovely; so much cuter than our American robin.
ReplyDeleteWe had a fairly large snowfall overnight, and this morning the temp. is -15 celcius, brrr...
Beautiful photographs, Snafu. I especially like the one of the magpie. Unusual to get that close.
ReplyDeleteKaybee, it has been almost as low in some parts of the UK at night. There is a sparrow, more or less centre and you can just see a Great tit to the right of that.
ReplyDeleteEllie, a 500mm zoom lens gets you close to Magpies.
AJ, good idea.
Lovely photographs, Rabbit, and I just love that twisted hazel in the snow. x
