'Threat Display' - The robin, probably
the most popular garden bird not only for its looks but for the fact that every garden
seems to have one. |
Welcome
to my |
Garden Bird Gallery |
| All
the photographs have been taken in my average sized town back garden over the last three
years. I have gone progressively more natural with my planting and that seems to
attract lots more wildlife, including butterflies, newts, toads, frogs, hedgehogs, bats,
and even a very young rabbit that ate all the young runner bean pants. With all the changes and the availability of water
in the form of two small ponds means that there are always birds in the garden, 35 species
so far.
The latest additions are a pair of
over-wintering Blackcaps and two Common Redpolls that are considered rare in Shropshire so
are awaiting conformation from the records committee. The most unusual was a pair of
Mallards swimming in one of the small pools. |
