What have you seen

Or is it a Blue-Headed wagtail? 😨

Great photo. Could be a blue headed, Twitch will know!

A beautiful sunny but cold day today which seems to have bought a few birds into the garden and the feeders, starlings, blackbirds enjoying the apples and suet block, goldfinches enjoying the nyjer and sunflower hearts, robin also enjoying the sunflower hearts and suet block, dunnocks (3), checking out the ground at the bottom of the feeding station, wren scurrying around the flower pots and containers, in an out of the shrubs and around the pond, collared doves feeding from the wild bird seed and around the garden also the wood pigeons, crow checking out "Christmas scraps", blue tits eating a sunflower heart or two then checking out two of our nest boxes spending a little time in one and the surprise of the day - 3 pied wagtails checking around the garden looking for goodies.  The wagtails being a "rare" and welcome visitor to our garden.

I've been outside, looking at the night sky. It's very clear in our area just now. There is a beautiful view of the planet Venus in the SW, near the horizon.

I hadn't realised that when you enlarged the photo that it still didn't show you the whole thing. I agree with you OneP, both about the software and about Rocky's photo. As this is supposed to be one the main enhancements of the new website it doesn't seem one of Santas best prezzies.

Quite an interesting day, although nothing startling. Last night as we were on our last walk I heard at least 3 Tawny Owls calling to each other  in the woods behind the van. Then what sounded like a fox barking as we went to bed. This morning the first sound was of a Woodpecker hammering away. On our walks we saw, as well as the usual Blackbirds & Blueys, Robins and Wrens, we spotted 3 GSW chasing each other, hundreds of Fieldfares and Redwings feeding on the apple trees in an orchard watched over by a imperious Buzzard, and on the way back to the van a  couple of Bullfinches and a Treecreeper.

Moved today to near Upton. Put out the feeders etc once we'd set up and have had more birds around already than we did during the 6 nights we were at our last site. A first for me was a Robin hanging onto both a fat ball and a half coconut. Not quite as agile as Blue and Great Tits but was certainly enjoying the feed.

Been seeing more flocks of birds migrating, apparently they are going to mate earlier as the weather is getting warmer.you can't blame them!

At last....Waxwings, at least 60!  Near Clitheroe, exactly the same tree as last winter. Might nip back tomorrow to make a good start to the 2017 year list 😊

In Germany last year and at the end of my digital zoom, just hope they never lit the fire below.
