Of course, none of that bothers our feathered friends!

We don't just have Chaffinches round here....... there's a couple varieties of sparrow, too!

The seed feeder got plenty of attention, occasionally leading to a bout of ......fisticuffs?!!!

Do you think birds can be as vain as us humans?!

This was a fun morning for us, just sitting quietly (daughter included!) watching the frantic activity outside. I got loads more, but picked some of the best for your enjoyment - hope you liked them!

Anyone got any anti-squirrel ideas?

DM---I don't know if this will help you any.A few years ago,I built,my wife,a
bird feeding post.It has 4 feeders on it.It sits on a 4/4 post.The squirrels were
always eating the seed.I don't mind the birds,but I'll be damned if I'm going
to buy seed for the squirrels.I bought some stovepipe @ that keeps them from climbing the post.I just screwed the stovepipe,to the post.Other than that,all I can suggest,is a pellet gun or 22,but that will get PETA upset.

Got some shots of a wild buzzard yesterday...... having trouble re-sizing them at the moment, hopefully will able to post them later on, or tomorrow.

OK, here we go. (Some of these are a bit "shaky" I'm afraid..... I was in the car a lo-o-o-ng way from him!!)

This first one is when I first saw him, hovering just off the side of the road

Number two is where (I presume) he spots dinner...... about 1½ seconds after this, he was in mid-swoop! Buggeritall anyway! :(

In these two, he's examining his catch then, a few seconds later, decided to swallow it whole. Those of you who are a little squeamish may not wish to view these.........

This last one surprised me.... who'da thunk a bird of prey would scratch itself? They do!!

Hope you liked.
