Thought I'd share a few shots I've taken recently having picked up a secondhand bridge camera, mostly for ID-ing purposes. Just moved somewhere that actually has outdoor space and my home office is perfect for taking ad hoc snaps of our feeders.

Mostly we get tits of various sorts, blackbirds and robins at the feeders, but there's a couple of blackcaps that visit too.

I'd always thought Dunnocks were quite shy but they seem to be some of the noisiest singers and boldest posers I encounter.

Hello, I have European Robins nesting in the garden this spring :3:

Nice! I've just put up a box in the hopes of luring robins to nest but I'm not holding out hope as next door have just got a very barky puppy.

I love the little head poking up- what an uncharacteristically shy robin.

We've been adding new bird feeders to attempt to increase diversity in our yard. Previously we just had a nijer seed feeder for the gold finches. Now we seemingly have more and more elaborate ways of feeding gold finches.

I had a similar experience but with blackbirds and woodpigeons. I was chasing the woodpigeons off, there only seems to be one that's still persisting and at this point with the acrobatics its doing to get at the food I'm inclined to just let it have its way.

Picture tax: went to an owl sanctuary, owls are intense.
