Hi Diane, you've had so many lovely birds visit your garden. Take care, Penny
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny and good to hear from you. We are lucky with the bird population. I hope all is well with you, take care Diane
DeleteHello Diane. The salamander is very striking and beautiful , wish we had those near me. I no longer see either marsh or willow tits as they have become quite rare this far north. However I do think your bird is Marsh Tit from the shape of the head and the overall gloss of the black. Also the lack of pale patch in the primary feathers. Your pics through the window are amazing. You do mean through the open window and not through the glass? Either way you have very good window cleaner.
ReplyDeleteI was over the moon to see the Salamader so clearly on our verandah. No Phil, not through an open window, the photos are taken though double glazing!! French birds are very nervous, I think there is too much hunting around here 😥 Apparently Marsh Tit numbers have declined in France, but that does not mean that we do not have one in the garden!
DeleteKeep well and I hope the sun shines for you, chhers Diane
That salamander is quite a striking fellow! He really catches your eye! Love the Robin too. Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog. Your words of comfort mean so much to me. Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, I know that you are going through a tough time and I am glad that my few words helped. The Salamander is a beauty. Keep well and take care, D
DeleteBeautiful images. If you cropped these photos, they came out beautifully!! If I do that, they become blurred. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to link in at I'd Rather B Birdin' this week.

Anni they are all heavily cropped and taken through double glazing. The camera does a good job! Not much to do with me. Keep well Diane
DeleteBonjour Diane,
ReplyDeleteCela fait plaisir de revoir tes publications, j'espère que tout va bien ? Superbe la salamandre ! Quelle merveilleuse créature !!!
Les oiseaux ont faim, pas de doute.
Bisous bisous
Salut Nathalie, La Salamandre était un délice à voir.
DeleteJe n'ai pas eu le temps pour deux blogs donc j'ai utilisé mon Photodiary. Nous partons en Afrique du Sud en janvier, j'espère faire de nouvelles photos.😊 J'espère que tu vas bien. Bisous Diane
Hi Diane - I was convinced I'd commented ... but lots going on so perhaps thought about it and then people frustration set in! Your photos are always amazingly clear ... and I love the tour of the garden or neighbourhoods you give us ... have a peaceful and blessed end of year - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary so glad you enjoy the walk around the garden and closeby. Cheers Diane
