Male Siskin waiting for it's turn on the feeders One of the almost tame squirrels up at the Dell oakwood Blue Tit happily hoovering up all the spill from the feeders The Coal Tit is a regular visitor but only takes one seed then flies away to eat it elsewhere The dominant cock sparrow on his "throne" surveying his territory I've no idea what it is or where he got it but it's going into the nest box Some much more traditional stuff this time, a beak full of moss A baby Siskin that stuffed itself so much it couldn't fly away !! Coming out of winter the Robins are quite scruffy but this one will soon plump out The sparrows making short work of the mealworms Bluebells at the Dell - the first sign of summer Mother Coal Tit feeding its offspring An adder at one of my old work sites. I needed access to the cover he is basking on so I used my golf umbrella to gently move him He wasn't too happy to be moved (the cast iron cover would have been warm) so he headed back and I just left him in peace A young Siskin practicing its acrobatics No one will spot us in here ! Where did he come from !! Practicing with my new macro lens on the beautiful alpine flower, the Lewisia At first I thought this photo was upside down !! A little field mouse that appeared when I was sitting quietly in the garden Landscapes
