Jenny wren searching for mealworms.

Well done photographing the wren.
They move so fast !

Great photo BB

nice................

Brilliant photo .. well done BB ...... I jumped out of the car today to take a photo of an Owl on a bush , I snapped it as it flew away the photo was no good it was so blurred ....... !

Thank all...cheated a bit...hid some mealworms in the hollow and
waited.Knew she was around as had heard her in the undergrowth. ! What a shame Amy....dont often see them in the daytime.Was it a large owl?

It was a Barn Owl BB , we went round the side of the field to see if it would land again but it didn,t , anyway it dosn,t matter if you did cheat getting your photo you did the hard work of luring it there .. LOL ..

Thanks Amy....suffered for waiting though.Only out five minutes or so and fingers went blue lol..bitterly cold here all day.The owl may reappear at some stage as quite terratorial.Is it near where you live ?

Aww BB, beautiful. She has gone to my Fav's. I love the wrens, so tiny! So she will return now if she knows meal worms are available?

Amy: What an amazing sight that must have been, I guess they are HUGE! Hope you get to see it again now your know where it is likely to be.

Yes Dawn...two days in a row have seen her go in for them,and come out looking smug !lol.So they will be put in every day,twice a day....more work !

so pleased she has found them BB, hope ours find mine. With all this cold weather it must make such a difference as they are so tiny.

Yes BB I did wonder about that because it was only just up the road , at the side of the slip road coming off the motor way .. I will keep my eyes open that way from now on !

The Barn Owl isn,t as big as you would expect Dawn , , I,ve looked in my lovely new BTO Garden Birds and Wildlife Book it does say that breeding pairs will stay in there local areas so I will keep looking . .........

Hi Amy..so you did remember who got the book first ! lol.hgope you spot him again !

Great pic BB.....she looks like she's enjoying the sun......

Thanks Janey..she found the mealworms we hid for her in the hollow,and obliged woth a pose lol

LOL...., she looks smug and plump ! Great shot !

The Wren is hard 2see @1st :) Great pic as Norm :)xxx

Lovely little wren!

awww great photo BB

Thanks Amy, I would love to a barn owl. So you have the beautiful book too then! Jacque and Eileen are hoping to get one on Mother's Day, arent you girls.
BB: I didnt say earlier how lovely this photo is, it is so bright and clear.

emmmmm yes Dawnsaunt i want one .
pssst what is it im wanting lol

Gone mine at the side of me Eileen - British Trust For Ornithology Garden Birds and Wildlife (Mike Toms and Dr Paul Sterry). Got mine for £8 from Amazon and poor BB paid full whack (£20). You might get one for Valentine's Day :-p

Super Photo BB..

Thanks all...couldnt believe she stood so still for so long.!She had been in the stump eating about 6 mealworms..no wonder she looks smug and plump !

Poor me paying fulol price for that book...now youre all getting it as a bargain ! Lol

Lovely pic, BB. Was it you who suggested soaking dried mealworms before feeding to the birds. I bought a packet - don't often buy them as they are so expensive but these were on special offer! Haven't used them yet.

wow well done Dawnsaunt, you really did get a bargain

Thanks Gee....best to add warm water to the dried mealworms to soften them..this makes them more attractive apparently.Ration ours as like you say are not cheap We got some on offer at Wilkos recently .
Yes Eileen she did !! lol

Dawn - thanks for the full title etc. I wanted to get it and now I know what to look for!

Sorry, BB. :-( Great photo, BTW.

Its also a great book Spritz - only place I could get so close to Christmas was local bookshop , no wonder they are struggling !

Hello Everyone, hope you get the book cheaper than the retail price of £20 (sorry BB). As I say, was quite easy to purchase from Amazon for £8 with FREE delivery, we like free!

Thanks Dawn : - ( will demand a lot more notice in future.Still think the BTO wil be happy with the extra money.

Brilliant BB, good to support a good cause. But what a brilliant book into the bargain.
