Great to see folks mucking in with their 'Birdie' pictures.

It's all been happening at our place....

A trusting young Tit- So far....

A young Song Thrush. We were lucky to have a clutch of four of these reared this year, and I was lucky enough to get a snap of all of them together.....I'll post this later.

Its a little bit of a cheat, but it is our garden and it is a bird.

One of our Muscovys has been getting out. She's clipped, and we thought we'd solved it when we saw her pushing under the wire. We sorted that out, but still she escapes.

Turns out she climbs, perches & leaps. Not very duck-like. The Collie, though keen to earn her keep, is not sure if chasing ducks up fences is within her job description....

At the risk of being boring! This is my latest Red Kite shot .... Again in Marlow Bucks, quite pleased considering it was with a compact camera through a double glaze window :tears-of-joy:

The low sunlight really lights up the under side of the wings and show the colours pretty well ....

This will be my last Kite shot, I promise! :cool:

Never get bored with Kite shots Steve, fantastic birds that were just not seen even a few years ago. One of the great reintroduction successes.
