Thanks Anni, love sharing with you and thanks so much for hosting. Glad you enjoy my photos. Keep well Diane
DeleteHappy anniversary. Love the little birds and the magpies are always a favourite. I’d love to see one in nature.
ReplyDeleteThe magpies are lovely birds but such bullies and they steal eggs from nests and they are also quite capable of killing the smaller birds!! Hope all is well, Diane
DeleteCant be too many people with C Bunting on the garden list - its not on my life list! Splendid collection of birds.

It is certainly the first ones that I have identified. They were so distant when I took the photos I did not know until I downloaded what they were! I hope soon we will be able to travel again but I have my doubts about this year! Keep safe Diane
DeleteBeautiful birds! Congratulations on 11 years of blogging.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda and for all the comments. Take care Diane
DeleteOne of the cutest birds in here, tits and robins are my favourite!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree the Bluetits to me take first place though for cuteness. Keep well Diane
DeleteLovely photos today Diane. I'm jealous of your Cirl Buntings as they don't occur this far north. Its many years since I've seen any in SW England. Hope Nigel gets his jabs soon and that you can both get a holiday.
ReplyDeletePhil the Cirl were a first for me and when I took the photos I had no idea what they were they were, so far away!! France seems slow with vaccines so I have no idea when Nigel might get on the list!!
DeleteKeep well, Diane
Hi Diane - congratulations on the 11 years of blogging. I always love seeing your bird photos - they're special ... My SIL does some work for an artist ... and the thank you card I got is of a blue tit painted by this friend: delightful it is too. All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary the Bluetits really are the cutest of birds and they have so much character. I wish they stayed in summer but they obviously do not like the boxes that we put up for them!!
DeleteHope all is well Diane
11 Years! We started around the same time! I think you are a month or two before me.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it has been forever!!! Cheers Diane
