Your little owl is stool around! I do love that green finch...its markings are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking time to join us at IRBB this week. Hope to see you link up again soon.
Ps. Your link is broken again so, I'll go add a corrected one. Seems your link has too many html on the end of your url link.
Thanks Anni, I just copy and paste the link so I do not know what the problem is but thanks for sorting it out!! The little owls are always around, though not simple to see unless they go onto one of the barns. In the trees they are impossible. Have a good week, Diane
DeleteThe owl is quite a fascinating fellow, though small. He looks like he was dotted with paint.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute little fellows and yes they do look as if the are dotted with paint I agree. Keep safe, Diane
DeleteAlways delightful Diane - glad you're busy, but still able to show us a few beautiful birds ... and yes aren't they growing. Your Little Owl is always wonderful to see ... stay safe - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary, not sure why we seem so busy, but maybe as we are never going out I am spending more time in the kitchen as well as trying to keep the weeds down in the garden. Keep well and yes stay safe also. Diane
DeleteI love your bird photos especially the Greenfinch and owls. How cool to have an owl on your roof top. Have a wonderful week ahead Diane. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny, I get excited every time I see the owls even though just recently I have seen them quite a lot. You also have a good week and stay safe. Diane
DeleteWow lovely birds. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much always good to hear from you. Have a great week and keep safe Diane
DeleteThose are wonderful yard birds...how lucky to have them all and (as you say) especially the little owl! Look at him sitting up there on your roof!
ReplyDeleteThese birds all look plump and very well fed.
ReplyDeleteNice shots Diane. It looks to me that the owls are breeding right in the gaps where the tiles overlap.
ReplyDeleteThe young Great Tits are more yellow around the face,"fluffier" and the black parts less distinct. Gets harder the more the summer progresses.
I love the first bird, I usually see them during Winter, when they are more comfortable being near human☺
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird shots as always! I especially love the owlies!
ReplyDeleteAw, these are some delightful visitors! And the owls always look guilty!
ReplyDelete'My Corner of the World' is happy to see you this week! Thanks for linking.
Nice birds. We have introduced Green Finches here - makes me wonder why nobody every brought Great, Blue etc Tits to Australia - probably for the best, but I'm still surprised.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well - Stewart M - Melbourne
so wonderfull
ReplyDeleteI love your photos

Our lake is like a giant birdbath. When the Oregon Juncos are nesting they bring their chicks down to the water's edge to play and bathe in the shallows. They are so much fun to watch. - Margy
