A Blue Tit kindly reminds you of your good resolutions towards a few minutes of #birding every day. 🪶🐦

Great Tit | Parus major | Kohlmeise on a branch. The background is illuminated by the sun in beige, brown and greenish.
Light conditions in the shady #garden were far from perfect. This Great Tit on a branch managed to sneak into your timeline to brighten up your weekend, anyway.

I like the lazy autumn moving into winter Sunday afternoons, I sneak into the garden hide while the Boss watches James Bond! The birds are slowly coming back in to feed, I like to see them all even the big 'uns! #Birds #UKBirding #Gardenbirding

A juvenile female Sparrowhawk stands on the bonnet of a white car, her beak and talons showing evidence of the white pigeon she recently killed. She's a small hawk with pale underparts barred in grey-brown, and a grey-brow back and head with a white stripe above the eye.

To celebrate my 10 yr anniversary living here I’ve compiled a garden report! Bird list is higher than I’d thought - 132 (+ Ruddy shelduck) incl ‘nocmig’ records.
