A selection of birds I saw yesterday either in the garden or on my walk.
I'm not sure what the first bird is, I think it's a Willow Warbler but if anyone thinks differently please let me know.
The second is a Pied Wagtail which is one of my favourite birds.
The third is a Goldfinch, one of several that visit the garden each day.
The last bird is a Little Owl, which is one of a pair that I see when I walk the dogs down a lane near home. I got up especially early yesterday hoping to photograph the owls before most other people were about. It isn't the best photograph but I was pleased with it, I managed to snap it just as the sun was rising.
I can now paint a Little Owl from my own photograph which is great because I want to paint an Owl series.
Wonderful photos Gayle! I love the wagtails too, and wish we had goldfinches in our garden. Must have been brilliant to see the little owls on your walks, I've only ever seen them in captivity. Looking forward to the owl series!
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle, nice pics, and you are right,the first one is a Willow Warbler. I was listening to them singing myself this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love owls Tracy, we have several Tawney Owls live nearby but it's usually too dark to photograph them when they visit the garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil I'm glad you've confirmed it was a Willow Warbler I'm not very good at identifying Warblers.
Thanks for sharing as I don't get those birds in my yard.
