Just been having a catch up. You've taken some fantastic photos of the birds in your garden, Eric. I love the ones of the Green Woodpecker emerging from the pond and the Blackbird feeding its young.

Thank you Ann, you are very kind, they can't quite compete with some of your Scottish ones though.

Thanks everyone, I try to attract them with the feeders, even at this time of year.

Quite a lot of activity on the feeders early on. I am a bit puzzled by the last three photos, I thought they were Great Tits but the markings aren't quite like the illustrations in my books.

I think you are probably right, Jan. I did a bit of Googling and found pictures of juveniles more like that.

Thanks Dave and Tabatha, perhaps there was a nest round here earlier on.

More than likely Eric, the young birds tend to stay close to where the nest is for a while.
