I did show you a blackbird a few weeks ago feeding on our doorstep. Since then we have had more in fact around four of five tend to come down for some food. I set my iphone up on a gorillapod and fixed it to a post, put some food nearby then sat down on chair and watched for them to land useing my watch
Rasins make a tasty meal
I'll take a few, like a beakfull
I'll just have another
I feel a little full
Down the bottom of the garden I have a niger seed feeder on an pergola, I set my phone up here and again waited by the house to get a photo
It was not long before a goldfinch stopped by
and started feeding
then a fried turned up on the other side
Lets have some more
a lot more
Ah there is my friend on the washing line, a while later they flew off.
Take Care
For some reason I can't sign in using my Google account, but I had to laugh at the one blackbird trying to imitate a chipmunk by attempting to stuff his cheeks with too much food!

I love seeing that blackbird eating the raisins. S/he really liked that snack quite a bit. The finch at the feeder is a true beauty. You see such lovely birds in your yard.
DeleteI never thought of giving birds raisins, I must put some out for ours this winter.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos of the birds. Must have been fun watching the black bird eating those raisins!!
ReplyDeleteEven more so when one of them is trying to defend them against 4 others trying to steal them
DeleteVery photogenic.
ReplyDeleteWorked out very well
DeleteThat is so awesome to have so many gorgeous visitors. Your crafty way of capturing them worked well :)

It's so nice to feed the birds and then sit and watch for them to come! Love your photos and the Goldfinch is different from the one here in FL. Love the colors!
