Something darting out at the bottom of the bird feeder aha
Readers will remember I wasn't quick enough for it before
but today......grabbed camera
deposited a few extra seeds on the slate steps
and he/she has now been caught on film

then whilst putting the above collage together
a bird I have not seen on a bird feeder ever let alone in my own garden
a female greater spotted woodpecker, so camera to hand managed to capture that too
both of which have brought a smile to my face on a rainy day :-)
Hello. I am a brand new follower. I saw your post on Coy Little House. What is that creature? It looks like a guinea pig but I see a tail. Beautiful pictures. Come see my blog .
ReplyDeleteHello Debby thank you for following my blog. I am fairly sure its a field mouse but some of my friends think its a vole.

He is gorgeous - do you think that he is a wood mouse or a harvest mouse?
ReplyDeleteHello Rosemary
DeleteI thought it was maybe a field mouse but will research a bit further.
Annie
I do love woodpeckers. They are just starting to drum in the trees. She is watching you closely!
ReplyDeleteShe is watching us, we have heard them in the woods behind us, but its the first time I have actually seen one. :-)
DeleteAnnie
Lovely photos as usual.
ReplyDeleteWe hear a symphony of birds all day long in our tree, but we rarely see any.
Thank you for your comment Carol, we see dozens everyday.
DeleteAnnie
They must have thought you weren't at home! Wonderful pictures as always. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah
DeletePhoto's taken through a glass patio door about 3ft away from feeder, I was so excited first time I have seen a woodpecker.
Annie
The mouse looks a lot like our field mice, but is brown, ours are grey. It looks healthy.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. X
its eating lots of bird seed so is obviously thriving on them. :-)
DeleteAnnie
Looks like a vole to me too, the short ears and if it has a short tail I'm sure it is. Beautiful though and lovely to have around. Love the woodpecker image.
ReplyDeleteYep its lovely to have around :-)
DeleteAnnie dear, how exciting to have new visitors to the garden - love the field mouse's color, and the woody is gorgeous, as are all of these spectacular birds. Nature is so amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs - Mary
Nature is indeed amazing and uplifting I just need to get out there more and get practising with my camera, thanks for dropping by :-)
