More Garden Birds

 As the light improves and with a good deal of sunshine I have been making the most of it with more photography in the garden, here's a few more from the last couple of days.

Greenfinches

I have recently returned from a two week trip to Scotland. It was a "working" holiday with the family, so of course the camera gear went along. I set up a feeding station and had good numbers of birds coming to the sunflower heart feeders. With plenty of juvenile birds around I was soon having to fill the feeders two or three times daily.
One species I was pleased to see were Greenfinches, they seem to have declined in numbers over recent years. I spent quite a bit of time concentrating on them to make the most of the opportunity.

I have added 32 Greenfinch images to my main website, here are a few of them.

 

Variety of Species

With the grim weather we have been experiencing over the last few months I have not been able to get stuck in to any of my planned projects.  Apart from the odd reasonable day it has just been a case of going out every time the sun briefly appears, consequently I have ended up with a few shots of a variety of different species.  This post is a collection of some of them.
