More Garden Birds

Whilst my second session in my hide was dominated by two friendly Robins, there were a couple of other common garden birds that also came down to feed. Whilst these are birds we see every day, it's nice to watch them from only a few feet away.

Perhaps not the most glamorous of birds, the blackbird is still quite handsome. And close up the detail in the birds feathers is actually quite remarkable.

The male Chaffinch is a very handsome bird but usually just comes to feed in the grass in front of my hide.

And finally a couple more images of the beautiful Goldfinch. We now have 5 or 6 birds in the garden at any one time. In previous years we have had up to 20.
