    It overnighted on my extension. The next morning it warmed up in the sun and flew off.

    There are a few on honeysuckle and they've hellebores, irises and clematises now. Even in the rain sometimes.

    • My first this year, reminding me of the value of a humble crocus.

      Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
      By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
      While better men than we go out and start their working lives
      At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

      • A Buzzard that's been hanging round the garden for a couple of days.

            The local Herons think it's spring and are re building their nest.
            Seen a few flying over the river Liffey near where I live yesterday

              There are 2 robins that eat together on the same feeder here. I love them too - the way they perch beside you and sing whilst you're gardening.

                  Yes I do a lot of wildlife photography, I have had a lot of images printed in the Scottish Field magazine as well as a couple of online photographic groups.

                    Not sure if they are gold or fire crests they move so quickly very difficult to photograph.

                    Blue tit easy.

                    Long tailed tit is another one that moves quick.

                      I think they are Goldcrest females, but not certain

                      • I’d say gold crests.

                        • Would that I had half your skills!

                          I was pleased enough to get this:

                            Another Red Kite, just testing posting pictures
                            I've only seen one here locally, 2 years ago now. I was in the garden and a big shadow went over that made me duck. When I looked up I saw the biggest bird I've seen round here (apart from geese) just floating over. It then cruised low along the lane.
