Seen in the garden or close by in the past week.

As always, I hope that my identification is correct, please let me know if there should be any mistakes.

European robin (Erithacus rubecula). We never see one all summer but as soon as there is a bit of chill in the air here it is...

As above...

As above.

Common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)

Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) - it was quite far!...

As above.

Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) and this was also quite far!

Grey heron (Ardea cinerea).  Quite far as well but easier to see!...

As above...

As above.

Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris), also known as the European starling or simply starling.

Red-legged Partridge (Electorus rufa), it is still around and has been in the garden now for 10 days...

As above...

and on our verandah.

Common cranes (Grus grus), also known as the Eurasian crane flying South over the house.  It is a good job they are so noisy or I would have missed them...

As above.

They were milling around a bit and these were heading in the wrong direction!

Just down the road the other day I spotted these starlings...

A small murmuration. I saw a great murmuration in the UK last year so hoping to get some better photos of them over the Christmas period whenI will be there again.
