Some of my better shots from the Farnes and bempton - hope you enjoy looking.
Excellent Nick. You’ve got better weather than us, theyd need wellies and a raincoat round hereWell, despite it being the warmest day here for at least a couple of weeks, we also had some geese flying in a SW direction this morning. Not sure how far South they're headed or whether it's just to a large reservoir about 5 miles away. They were certainly making plenty of noise!

With your skills sir - never sure if it's real or a model!

We do John. Today, apart from the bullfinches, today we’ve had the usual suspects….many sparrows, collered doves, wood pigeons, crows, rooks, jackdaws, chaffinches, gold finches, greater spotted woodpecker, great, blue, coal, mallow and long tailed tits, a pheasant, robin, and blackbird. Sometimes get a black cap as well. I think the chickens attract the other birds LOL.Normal turn out here this morning, 3 Black Birds, House Sparrows , Starlings ,and of course the local gang of Pigeons.
Most afternoons a Red Kite does the rounds of the gardens, some one futher down the road is feeding them as we often see it swop down .
When it's really cold we have Gold Finches on the feeder after the sunflower seeds .
Any one else do the RSPB garden birdwatch next weekend ?
..........................and probably in England too!The other day saw another pair of Turtle Doves leisurely walking the road in front of the house.
I also realised the ravens or crows make the same eerie noise in the morning like they do in Sydney.
Cheers,
Richard
