A message from a neighbour saying he'd seen a ringed Starling prompted an afternoon of luring it into my garden and waiting for it to get off the grass and onto the water tray. Must cut the grass, photos would be easier. All photos except the House Martin and the Hoverfly were taken from in my kitchen with the camera on a tripod, very rare for me to use it.
The ringed Starling in a trail camera video, click here Adult Starling bathing with a good sound recorded
Tree and House Sparrow with the bossy Starlings Vixen recorded at 0341 with birds singing all around 6 Herring Gulls had already been at 0330, I think because I'd left a light on?
Tree Sparrow juvenile, one of four that I've managed to count but there could be more
If I don't leave the hose in the water the Starlings soon empty it
Not the photo I wanted, they always look better on the camera, but it will have to do until the Yellowhammers become less wary
I need to cut the grass back a bit
One of four Goldfinches coming to the feeders
Maybe not the best shot of a House Martin but it's got a fly in it which is about to be caught
The often over-looked House Sparrow, a few family groups were flying around today
A juvenile Starling with Orange 4TK ring. It was ringed in the ringers garden
in Montrose on 8/6/21 as a juvenile female (LL80459). A first sighting
The Starling with the ring was originally seen in a video taken on this trail cam
The tripod was also popular
I had put out some fat ball crumbs in the attempt to get a photo of the ringed bird
Migrant Hoverfly - Eupeodes corollae.
As yet an unknown fly, it might be Phaonia tuguriorum. I'm not buying a microscope!
