Sunday 11th October 2009 - no birding this weekend

Too much on this weekend, so no birdwatching trips. Instead, a couple of pictures from earlier this year. I was presented with the camera in the middle of August, and these two pictures were taken as I tried to work out how to use it. The first is a juvenile blackbird, the second a collared dove.



The garden is quite a useful place from time to time. Usual species at home include blackbird and collared dove (obviously), robin, wren, songthrush, mistlethrush, house sparrow, dunnock, magpie, jackdaw, starling, greenfinch, chaffinch, goldfinch, bluetit, coaltit, great tit, longtailed tit, woodpigeon, stockdove. Have also had sparrowhawk, moorhen, pied wagtail, willow warbler, waxwing.
