Apologies for the lack of posts but the WiFi is on a serious go slow and my patience can not cope!
I have picked one photo from each month of 2020 to say Happy Christmas with and hopefully bring a bit of cheer.
20/01/2020 Bluetit on the windowsill. (Cyanistes caeruleus).
15/02/2020 Common cranes (Grus grus) migrating back to the North. We are so lucky to see them twice a year.
16/03/2020 Blackbird male (Turdus merula) being bombed by a House Sparrow male (Passer domesticus).
16/04/2020 Blackbird female or possibly a youngster (Turdus merula).
12/05/20 European greenfinch (Chloris chloris).
10/06/2020 little owl (Athene noctua), they have been very visible this year. Although I have not actually seen then for a couple of months now, I hear them calling each other most evenings but it is too dark to see exactly where they are, certainly on a nearby barn, possibly even our own.
26/07/2020 Black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) taking a bath.
22/08/2020 House Sparrows having fun in the water (Passer domesticus).
21/09/2020 Great tit (Parus major) probably complaining as all the other birds have splashed out all the water.
09/10/2020 Grey Partridge in the garden (Perdix perdix). A once in a lifetime visit I think!
12/11/2020 Woodlark (Lullula arborea). Seen out on one of my walks.
16/12/2020 the Christmas Robin in our garden (Erithacus rubecula).
Happy Christmas

Hi Diane, you've had a lot of beautiful photos through the year. Thank you for summarizing your year in bird photos. They make me smile. I wish you and Nigel a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Diane. You will not be surprised to hear that the Little Owl is my favourite, not because of the photography (they're all delightful), but just because of the subject matter!
ReplyDeleteMy very best wishes for 2021 - stay safe - - - Richard
Hi Diane - a beautiful selection ... the woodlark and partridge are special ... as well as Little Owl - clever photos - all the best and happy seasonal times - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThat cartridge is awesome to see since we don't have them. Great series of terrific birds. (I know what that slow wi-fi is like!)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing throughout 2020 with us at IRBB. See you next year!

Delightful assortment of monthly birds with lots of action! Merry Christmas and Happy New 2021!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice calendar of birds - and I think we all hope that 2021 will bring better new!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Happy New Year! May 2021 bring you much joy and hopefully some delicious meals too!
