The Blackbird & Friends

 

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

 
This looks good

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.

  1. 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!

    1. 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.

    1. Even more so when one of them is trying to defend them against 4 others trying to steal them

  7. 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!
