The Yellowhammer again...

That's very pretty Karen :o)

Thank you TT...isn't he lovely.

Have you done the RSPB bird count ?

Link to RSPB Garden Bird Watch on my latest blog "Birch Perching" ...

Yes, thanks, I saw that and I am hoping to get it done this afternoon. I wansn't going to, as the garden birds had all left, but now they are certainly back! :))

make lovely wallpaper with that delicate flower and the beautiful siskin??

It would, if it weren't for the grey rooftiles behind! Pity it isn't a blue sky eh? ;)

But thank you so much Sticki!

I only saw "common" birds to list such as blackbirds, and collared doves ...

... but I saw 8 sparrows and there are more than that number of sparrows around on some days, so that's good news...

Another great shot. Aren't they beautiful?

Thanks Oji! I was crawling on my belly in the conservatory to get the pics!! :))))

wonderful !!!

Wow Karen, that is sooo pretty

I dont find the tiles a problem they blend in very well

i agree Bjs

Thanks Bjs and everyone! :)

I always miss the count having worked Sat & Sun for years :(((

To capture the bird and flowers against the grey foil of the tiles, oh happy conjunction.

Thank you S.side. I hardly ever see Siskins and today I had FOUR!! See my latest blog! what a blessing!

I asked on your blog what these were Karen. No need to answer now :)

that's a great photo Karen :-)

Thanks Scottish and Slad!

Lucky you, have never seen one of these birds.....

Gosh, I am surprised at how many people have never seen one. They aren't uncommon here, although to see four at one time is a real blessing (see blog). They are really beautiful though and I hope you see one soon DD!

Thanks K.
