Daily Pics vol. 83

You are doing a great job w/ it Mrs Ed!

Very nice pics everyone!!

I'm behind, but love the pictures. Peanut butter and grackles? LOL!

Loved the meadow lark!

I really need to get some fresh ones. Digging into the archives I found this silhouette.

Thats a nice one!

From yesterday.

A red-bellied visitor to the peanut suet cake. Gosh, even the Cardinals like those!

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I think I ate too much!"

LOL, he does look bloated!

Thanks Pelletory. I was trying to snap a catbird, but it looks like a grackle to me.

Granny, ROTFL. He is a chubber!

Baby robin from the archives.

He is a "bloated chubber". He and a little downy woodpecker have been battling over ownership of the jar of crushed roasted unsalted peanuts I put out. He won yesterday, if you can call it that.

Nice pic Billy!

Plenty of great pics here, getting better all the time! Too many to comment on but all great.

A little sun here today, a male Pheasant strolling through the garden today (some of the dead stuff behind got cleared up today!).

Oh he's gorgeous!!

Gorgeous Wallaby! I have a pheasant picture, but it's too dark. I'll enjoy your's!

I've had a male and female spatted on the road lately, she was stood on my road and I turned away, heard a fast car then saw feathers flying. They just walk out and are not used to fast cars, which should take more care on a country road!

A little later a female was sat in another bed, I walked up to within 8 feet of her and she took no notice! She moved into another bed with me following, just sat ther sunning herself, I even talked to her, not at all worried!

Mine are easy to get billy, I'm beginning to wonder is the female will nest in my garden!

Cute picture Billy!

That pheasant is so beautiful.

Wallaby, that female pheasant has either accepted you, or has decided if she ignores you, you'll go away! LOL

Dhe didn't seem to be looking at me but must have know I was there.

Lol GG, I seem to have answered you! They must be used to me by now, but it is unusual, I don't mix with them often!

Walaby, those are fantastic pictures!! I can't believe she ignored you!

Splatted is such a shame. There aren't enough of them around here at times. They can get flooded out of their nesting sites.

I think she looked at me trying not to be seen, lol.

Did you ever think about, what if the tables were turned for a day and the birds had the cameras?!! Oh my!

I hope she nests for you. I think their eggs are a pale olive green, but I'm not sure. I came across an abandoned nest and assumed it was. Great photo opportunity.

Yes billy, I feel they get to be my friends. I had one with pink/purple feathers on it's rump but I couldn't tell which it was on the road, it was in two with barely a feather to be seen. ;~( . The female ended up cat food, so I guess it wan't wasted, they are bred for other purposes but I wish they could just be left to enjoy themselves! There hasn't been a shooting party around for a long time, good job!

Inquisitive Blue Tit

Wallaby those are priceless!!

Lol GrannyG, plenty of butts in the air I imagine while we garden!

I have seen the eggs, I think they are a pale blue-green with spots but it's along time since I saw any.

I spy..

Beautiful photo of the male pheasant, wallaby1. It is one of the joys of photography that the photog can then look at a photo, ask oneself "what's wrong with this picture" and then proceed to fix it as you did with the "dead stuff" that got cleared away.

Thanks bgrumbin, but it was out the kitchen window, you just have to get them as you can sometimes!

The dead stuff has been on the agenda for a while, but when you get winter temps and bad weather in March it has to be done when a good enough day arrives, can't do it all at once (wishing I could, lol). Sometimes I only get a decent enough day once in a week or two weeks, frustrating as it is. My zone looks warm, it's actually quite cold here, it just doesn't get THAT cold.

In case I get into trouble, we're on page 84 now, lol, the link will get buried.
