    Bobby out late this evening at 5.30pm.
    It knows to follow me in to the shed and waits by the bucket till i open the lid.

    And a chaffinch enjoying the sun last week.
    IMG-20210114-180827.jpg

    Pottokblue, no names for the new pair, naming the tame pair started as a joke no expecting them to hang around.
    Mystic86, on android i find Picture Bird(images) and BirdNET(sounds) useful for identifying different bird speices.

    Also Winterwatch is on Bbc2 at 8pm for the next two weeks and also on the red button throughout the day.

    Lolie Bobby is breaking my heart in his bucket and after dark! Please keep posting as possible...

    I thought your other photo lolie was a once off! Meteorite58’s photo too reminded me of one of my father’s friends. This gentleman had a brother who would call wild birds and they would flock over to land on his hand or his shoulder. The family were known for a very famous stallion (and kindness to nature) and I read once of a visitor to their farm being amazed to see the man sitting in the stable with two robins perching on his shoulder. lolie you have that gift too (and being able to photograph it at the same time)

    Loyal lady, its a nice thought but i think its just a pair of hungry robins who's parent was fed on the windowsill and then brought her babies to the back door for the same.
    What we think is a parent, taken through the window in early June

    I was taking some sunrise snaps on the Vico road this morning and made a new pal, very interested in my camera.

    Might have seen their reflection on the camera lens - assuming you were using a camera not a phone.
    Thought there was another bird in front of them?
