Garden Wildlife UK

So, with Bob keeping his word, despite my reservations of using FedEx, and delivering a bit of blue sky and a dapple of sunshine, I headed out. Not wanting to venture far, so I could definitely take advantage of the weather, I ended up at the Trailway again. (Next time I'm out will be Weymouth or Portland as it appears I haven't been there since last year!)
Spot the signs of Spring

Hope you enjoy

Nice set PB, great shots of the goldcrest and song thrush. I haven't noticed a dunnock singing yet, they tend to be easier to photograph when they are not skulking about under the bushes

Good selection PB even though a few were fly past(including the big silver bird). I also enjoyed the "Where's Wally" game with the Starlings and Fieldfare.

Great set of pics PB.

Thanks Snappy, that Goldcrest was the third of 3 I saw, I'd almost given up hope of getting a shot when he hopped into the open There were two Dunnocks singing, on opposite sides of the track, but the other singer wasn't out in the open at all

Thanks Jack, I couldn't even make out what the birds were when I took the picture, they were so far away and it was only when I got home and zoomed in that I spotted a couple.
Not sure what sort of plane it was, or what it was doing down here lol
