Photo Of The Day.

Hi Peter

 

Get hold of some Niger seeds and a suitable hanging dispenser and the Goldfinches will be soon become regular visitors to your garden.

 

They'll be squabbling over this delicacy before you know it.

 

If you do go down this route, make sure you don't make the same mistake as I did. Try to position the feeder near a bush or tree, giving any feeding birds refuge from the attentions of the local Sparrowhawk. It's likely that if you don't, your lawn will soon resemble the aftermath of a St Trinians pillow fight.

"My" finches come mainly for a drink from the tiny pumped stream..created specially to attract birds.

 

Day before yesterday, when it was hot and dry, a Woody actually sat down in one of the little pools and had a good cooling off

 

Steve, nice work mate, but color is not right, the GF's do actually have a slight yellow tinge to the white areas, and they akso seem to have very "soft" feathers, which don/t define well (not like sparrows for instance)

This is the photo I was going to enter in the current competition, but I took the photo 1 day too early.

 

My grand-daughter Amity is now 7 months old. Here she is in the arms of her mother, Alisa.

Steve ..

 

What an absolutely beautiful picture. You can be rightly proud of that one !!

 

This shot has got to be a family heirloom.

 

Such a pity that this picture is outside the current comp time frame .. I cannot begin to imagine a better example of the word ..

 

"Friends"

 

Well done mate.

Beautiful shot Steve - very natural and nicely composed.

 

Snatcher - that's a hefty pollock, mate. Congrats on the fish and also on the C&R.

 

Pip, my daughter, encouraged me out of bed at 6am today. She's nice like that. Sitting at the 'puter, when this friendly little chap decided to have a nut breakfast. It reminds me to clean the windows...
