Hi Wallaby,

Yep, they breed in the Med and winter in Africa. There's an average of about 15 or so recorded in Britain every year, but mostly on the south coast, this far north only one every few years. The last one in Northumberland was 6 years ago. You're right that they tend to arrive on southerly winds in spring; when migrating birds go past where they normally stop to breed, it is known as 'spring overshooting'.

Very nice pics GP!

Congratulations on the new bird!

Thanks Pell.

That bear from last year is back. Posted a couple of fuzzy pics on the wildlife forum under He/She is back.

Ha. i was WONDERING how your feeders were doing

Got a new taker in the woodpecker condo this year. Seems like a different woodpecker nests in one of these two dead tree stubs every year. Many different size holes make a nice variety for every breed.

Not a very good pic, but it looks like feeding time.

Here is another picture. I thought it was a red belly woodpecker.
Other condo guests in past years have been Pileated, hairy and downy.

That's a Northern Flicker, cpartschick!

A Red-tailed Hawk today.

Caught these two together!

White-crowned sparrow and white-throated sparrow.

Nice in flight pic pelle.

Thanks adel!

Nice that you got them both together Mrs Ed!

Heres a Black-capped Chickadee from today.

Great pics everyone...ya'll have been busy today!

Mrs. Ed...I love that combo pic...very nice!

Pelle...Love the BIF and that Chickadee is awesome!

Here is a young Red-winged Blackbird, I think he is trying to attract a female as he put on quite a show of wings and tail feathers!

Wow - some great bird sightings. And great photos everyone.

Love the Red-tailed pelle!

Mrs. Ed that duo shot is awesome! A keeper for sure!

Nice RWB rose! I am sure he will find him a lady.

Have to go through pics, but did get this House Sparrow hopping in the front yard today.

Not enough time to see everybody's posts today - wanted to take a minute to pop one in. A very happy chickadee sitting in tree buds! :)

Thanks Nanny...cute pic of the hopping birdie!

Cute Chickadee Sybil!!

We finally have Kildeer nesting on the pond bank! Isn't she just the most beautiful?!!!

This Black-headed Grosbeak doesn't seem to have any trouble eating upside down.

Great pics everyone!

So nice to see the Killdeer Rose! They are beautiful!

Thanks nanny, should put my glasses on before I post. LOL
Nice to see them nesting in the woods.

OMG! They have sold the lot that has the tree where the flickers I have been watching are nesting....I am sooo not happy. The surveyor was there to day putting up marking post. Wahhhh

That kildeer is gorgeous rose!

Downy Woodpecker

Cardinal

This poor Downy Woodpecker was very confused about the nesting material in the suet feeder! lol

Not really a good pic, but it shows the how much bigger a Grackle is over a Red-winged Blackbird.

all these pics were from yesterday, by the way. :)
