Birds I have seen in Africa and Europe
Apologies for the lack of posts. We have had a spell of good weather and the garden took over my life!
I opened the shutters the other morning and there it was sitting in our cherry tree watching over the feeders and just waiting. It was not in the slightest bit disturbed by my presence!
There appears to be a background problem 1/2 way down which I cannot correct - Google having its own way.....

As above.  European greenfinch (Chloris chloris). Watch out guys the sparrowhawk is looking for its breakfast.  European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) and a Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).  Greenfinches and Goldfinches.  As above.  Greenfinch. With thanks to Richard for ID, these appear to be Emperor Geese (Anser canagicus) in someone's smallholding. They have a few exotic birds there so I see, but I need to try to get better photos with the bigger camera. All I was walking with here was the small Nikon Coolpix.
