f 5/6
I took the 400 f5/6L this morning hoping to get better crossbill shots (as they were so tame yesterday) but the crossbills didn’t pose for any photos…
Other birds on the floor
2 very common ones…
‘Dirt Birds’
An American birding phrase apparently…
Not finches
Some common birds from the 2 tiny parks in my neighbourhood the last 2 days…
More very local birds
Some birds from yesterday…
Cold snap
It turned a bit chilly yesterday…
This morning on a brief walk saw a skittish flock of Common Redpoll, a small flock of Brambling in my local park, a lone Eurasian Sparrowhawk plus the usual common stuff.
Tuesday parklife
A few of the regulars were present this lunchtime…
A sunny morning
On the way to the dentist this morning we saw a flock of waxwings and when I was done I went back to the side street from yesterday but nothing doing there.
The small park nearby had a 5 Long-tailed Rosefinch and a few other commoner species and I did see a Peregrine dramatically snatch a pigeon (no photos sadly).
Nearly done
Probably my last outing of 2024. The end of the year has been very good in town. Which is good because for various reasons I haven’t been able to do much traveling the last 3 or 4 months.
No crossbills, not even flyovers…and no waxwings anywhere. But nice light and some common species made it a pleasant stroll around the neighbourhood.
The supporting cast
Like I said, no crossbill or redpoll pics but there were plenty of other small birds around.
No waxys or xbills morning
Yesterday anyway. Well there was one flyover crossbill…
But there were still a few birds to photograph on a very white snowy morning.
