Garden Birds in Glasgow

Since my last post I've spent a lot of time watching the birds in our garden - 18 species in total!

Here's a few images ..................

Redwing

Blackbird

Fieldfare

Song Thrush

 

We're just hoping that the berries last for a few more days and who knows we may attract some Waxwings!

 

I've also spent a bit of time preparing my presentation for next week (13th) when I am guest speaker at the Glasgow Natural History Society. Perhaps I'll see some of you there?

 

I did manage out for a few hours on Sunday and added these two Ravens to my Bingham's Pond year list  ....
