It's all gone a bit @spurnbirdobs in #MeGarden in the freeze. Fossicking 😍 (thank you @Kate_Bradbury) #Blackbirds (garden bird 🐐) aplenty, a brief #Fieldfare plus a feet down #Redwing a reward for daily pond ice breaking. 💚 #nature #garden #pond #messy
Putting fresh water out daily for the #birds, especially in this weather can be a life saver. #MeGarden bird bath is popular with other creatures too. #Hedgehog
Meet my new minder. Working in #MeGarden today whilst this totally bossed the airspace around me. Everything that came near was promptly booted! Fine beast. #GreatPiedHoverfly
#PavementPlants #Shetland style. This Sea Pink is such a nice little welcome home. #MeGarden #SumburghHead #SabbaticalLife #wildflowerhour
Angelic female #Brambling and the first pair of #Bullfinch for a while in #MeGarden #Longridge today whilst the resident female Goldcrest is still bouncing up and down with herself outside the window.
Well these were an absolute pre-work treat this morning at a murky #AlstonWetland. 26 grounded Golden Plover, another record #wader count on the patch after yesterday's 291 #Curlew. Bonus little visitor was awaiting back home too with this male Blackcap in #MeGarden. #VitaminN
#MeGarden #Goldcrest that made it through the freeze is now rather enamoured with her own reflection. Nose to beak window views this morning of this fantastic little creature. @RSPBEngland
Made up #MeGarden #Goldcrest has survived the big freeze. Staggered how these tiny morsels survive such conditions. #Brambling still attending feeders, pic just for @LionelGodwit, drake Blue Tit throwing daft shapes around the nestbox & songsters increasing. Spring it is then.
#MeGarden distraction levels have just gone up a notch. Ages since the last one. Hope he sticks around and brings his pals. #Brambling #Longridge #stunner
Absolutely epic encounter with this stunning big female #Sparrowhawk in #MeGarden this afternoon. Day made.
More time at home has allowed me to get to know the other winged creatures that inhabit #MeGarden.
Epistrophe eligans, Rhingia campestris, Baccha elongata and the very dapper Leucozona lucorum #Hoverflies #VitaminN Happy to be corrected!
