Hey where did all those months go? 2012 already!
Happy new year to anybody who is following or reading this.
Been out with Sparky today on my patch and can see the birds easier now the leaves have all gone! It’s been real windy here in Leeds this week. Luckily haven’t had any thing damaged but non sleep for a while! Al least it’s calm now! So I had goldfinches, bullfinches, blue tits, great tits, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds chaffinches and gulls this morning and most of them are now on my feeders! The bullfinches plumage is stunning in the winter.

These are photos I’ve taken in the garden at different times of the birds I’ve mentioned.
Bramblings at Garden Feeders
Well have a pair of Bramblings visit my garden feeders is a first for me. I caught a glimpse a few days ago and thought they looked like chaffinches, but when I saw them again more clearly realised that they were Bramblings! I was very proud of myself but I didn’t have to look them up in a book either! Well not quite true, but only to confirm what i thought. Was well pleased.
Bramblings first visit
There’s a goldfinch and a bullfinch getting in on the act too.
The lighting was dreadful for photography yesterday when i took these pictures.
