Missed Jay and captured Bullfinches

There was excitement in the garden today when a large handsome Jay landed on the fence. It only stayed a moment, but I got a picture,

of its back end and legs, as it flew from the garden.

I did manage some better pictures of Squirrel when she came out for lunch with The Red Man

I am not sure The Red Man was very good company,

Squirrel was quite happy just eating all the nuts.

The Bullfinches visited the garden again, this is the third time I have seen them and this time I was closer so I took lots of shots to make sure I took at least one good one.


The Male Bullfinch was not bothered by the camera at all, in fact he seemed to play up to it.

The Female Bullfinch was a little more timid it took a while longer to get a decent photo of her, the difference in colouring made it harder as well.

Then I even managed to take one of them both together on the bird house, it may not be a great shot but I like it.

I have decided to call the Male Bullfinch "Arnie" because he'll be back.

The list of young birds is still growing we have a Dunnock,

and a Collar Dove.

 Squirrel stood in the garden looking round this afternoon,

she wondered what was happening I think, all these noisy babies in the garden, where was she going to get a bit of peace now?


Until the next time...
