Garden Bird Pictures

Then there are the ubiquitous sparrows - a male and a youngster:



The tits - blue tit and great tit:

And the blackbirds have had their first breed already up and flying by the start of May.

One of the youngsters spent almost a whole afternoon with me - obviously feeling quite
comfortable in my presence.



When mum came, it demanded to be fed and looked rather puzzled when mum didn't oblige.

This one is bad quality - but a lifer for me: a serin.

I have had a couple of redstarts nesting on a my balcony for a couple of years and now I see that there are several more couples around than before

I see them in the morning from my bedroom window. Must remember to prepare the camera

[Lisbeth]

I still have not seen a blue tit around Must go for a walk in the forest ( Walk is the bad word )

[Mel]

Lucky you regarding the redstart! Would love to have them closer by.
Maybe that would increase my chance of a really good photo. And even of a male.
But those birds were never taught how to sit still.

Looking forward to your photos, Lis.

[Lisbeth]

I had quite a few photos of them, but they have been deleted, who knows why

[Tina]

There are no redstarts, starlings or serins around in our garden

I'm a bit green of your Serin sighting. Still one on my wish list.
