Garden Birds and wild birds thread.

They’re not a particularly pleasant animal tbh.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
And humans eat / kill pretty much the same as Storks in the wild.

I have four Northern Flickers outside my window, they’re so skittish I can’t get close for a photo. I guess the -23c has got them hungry

We get a lot of them in the Sacramento area too - this one had its head screwed on backwards...

There was a wren in my garden this morning, first time I’ve seen one in about a year.

Wash your ears out. It's jizz not jays you deaf bugger.

Didn't Jizzjays play for the rags? Two orgasms for the price of one. Another rag bargain.

The RSPB get many reports from the public about ""exotic" bird sightings that more often than not turn out to be a jay. Not surprising given it's plumage, and the funerial black of our other corvids. First time i saw a tree-creeper i thought it was rare, never having seen one before, drab feathers but unmistakable behaviour, but not uncommon. Buzzards have become main-sream nowadays, same with herons. A goldcrest just outside the window, tiny yet can lay 7 or 8 eggs again not rare just reclusive, and like wrens, not attacted to bird-feeders, prefering insects to seeds.

Herons ten a penny in the Aire valley now. They cut off a bend in the river near me and take a rest on my garage roof.

I’m pretty sure this thread used to include wildlife too. This guy just came back
