Dragon goes Wild

  • The call of the Buzzard(s)

    Hearing the distinctive call of the Buzzard, I expected to spot one or maybe two birds…. I hadn’t expected to see five Buzzards all circling overhead! They were a bit high up to get a really clear photo, but zooming in on the pictures, it’s definitely 4 regular coloured Buzzards, and one which seems to have…

  • Bathing Robin

    Not to be outdone by the Blackbird, the Robin came for a bath today – I didn’t think it was possible, but the Robin splashed more water out of the bath than the Blackbird did!     #staywild

  • A simple cloudscape

    Just a simple cloudscape today, but it’s one of those clouds I haven’t been able to identify other than it being “photogenic”! #staywild

  • Leaving the seedheads

    We’d planned to cut back the seedheads from the plants this week, but the Goldfinches were still tucking into them – I guess we’ll leave the plants a bit longer yet! #staywild

  • Another day, another bathing blackbird

    I think this is the same female Blackbird, as she sits in the bath like it’s a nest, before splashing the water everywhere   #staywild

  • Huge bird flying over

    It wasn’t the sight I expected when I looked out of the window this morning – I saw what I thought was a seagull and a smaller bird in the distance. What it turned out to be, was a Heron and a seagull even further in the distance than I’d first thought! #staywild

  • You can tell it’s Spring when….

    ….the birds are queuing for a bath – this female Blackbird was having a lovely time! To start with, she sat in the bird bath like it was a nest, before starting to splash the water over her back.   #staywild

  • There’s Still Snow About

    Just one little photo for today – an arty view of the snow clinging to the top of a tree in the garden.   #staywild

  • Almost Spring…. in the snow?!

    The “Beast from the East” made its presence known again today, with more snow! It certainly confused the finches, and gave the daffodils a bit of a shock too. #staywild

  • Chaffinches

    Some birds can handle bird feeders, others tend to struggle…. and this Chaffinch is definitely on the “struggling” level. He did manage to get some seed out, but there was a lot of flapping involved, as he didn’t seem able to actually land comfortably on the perch to get some food before flying back to…
