Local Birds.

These were taken on a friends bird-table, he's lucky enough to get a Nuthatch.

The rest were taken locally when out with the Dog (in the snow).

    Nuthatch is still quite a novelty bird up in Scotland - so shots are grippers! Like the gothic influence on the birdtable too.
    Light was nice for the winter thrushes.

    Lovely shots of the Dipper and Snipe.
    I wish my dog would slow down enough to let me take pictures when I take him out. lol

    I love your new header, it's gorgeous!

    Beautiful shots. It's always fun to see the tits and thrushes on another continent.

    Great Nuthatch!!
    I wish we got those in Ireland! I miss England for is diversity of birds and wildlife; but on the brightside the Woodpeckers have made it over to my local area in Co.Wicklow!

    Great pic of Dipper. There is nothing here that fills that niche.

    Great photos all, particularly the snipe which I find hard to capture because they don't stand out from their surroundings.

    ....love the header! What a great variety. I love the nuthatch. They are such fun birds to watch. We have white-breasted nuthatches that visit all year, but the red-breasted nuthatch is much more selective. We were lucky enough to have one drop by for about a week early during migration. Wish he had stayed!

    Hi JR and Sue.
    Another great collection. We also would like a Nuthatch in the garden but so far they have given us the swerve. Great Dipper shot John...I have photographed the one(s) I see regularly but at a distance in poor light and so far I have not been happy with the result. I would be happy with your photograph.

    Great stuff. Loving the dipper pic. I have never photographed this bird, I know where they are, but for some reason I have not poked my camera in their face. "Yet".
