They're fucking everywhere this year! Seen more of these in the garden and grass verges this year than sparrows! Sure they used to be a rate sight only 10 years ago.

Use to be very rare. They usually only eat a certain seed.
Put black nijer seed out in my garden to get them a few year back. Always here now

Randomly I saw a Blue Tit for the first time in what seemed ages the other day, and considered the Gold and Bullfinches are increasingly popular instead of Blue tits which used to be everywhere

I've seen them both on feeders and eating grass seed on verges, they don't seem to fear people either, there was some on a feeder in someone's front garden 6ft from queuing traffic on a main road the other day. Lovely looking birds though.

I've seen loads of blonde big tits around past few days , I know how attracted they are to the warm weather but for some reason they don't take seed very easily

Managed to snap one of those in the garden the other day. Pic's not too sharp, it was zoomed in 50x. I'd never seen one before



And a nice one of a robin sunning itself after a bath in our water fountain...



Sparrows... fucking thousands of sparrows....



And some blue tits in our old garden



Woodpecker I never managed to get a decent shot of, he was too quick



and speaking of little fear of humans... I literally walked straight past this kookaburra on the pavement in Aus, within a few feet, he didn't even flinch
