    Default New Garden

    Looks like the forum is pretty quiet at the moment , so thought I'd post a few pics of new birds in my new garden in Sidmouth. Still getting to know the area, but have quickly realised it's a bird 'haven' or 'heaven' . As always, apologies for the pics, but there's always something that interferes......windows, weather, light etc.. Never mind, spring's nearly here!

    Cracking selection Bob, bad light is not the photographer's friend, but as you say, spring is nearly here.

    Funnily enough we've had visits from a Goldcrest and a female Blackcap in the last few days as well. (Love the expression on the Goldcrest's face!)

    I love Bullfinches now that we haven't any fruit trees (apart from an ornamental Crab Apple), but don't have a lot of love for Sparrowhawks at all.

    Good capture though!

    Nice selection - not the sort of birds I get to see in mine
