Flat light, almost no light today. It’s a few degrees warmer and the cloud level is way down. I did find a perch and tie wrapped it to the feeder. The Crested Tits have been back but I didn’t manage a picture and anyway the little blighters didn’t like my new stick. I’ve loaded the medium format camera with B&W film as tomorrow could be the day for some reasonable light and if I’m lucky some nice ice formations. It’s just above freezing now so fingers crossed.
I’ll see what tomorrow brings….hopefully a Crossbill and some landscapes.
I think you did great with the light you had.

Mersad, overcast is good light but dark and foggy isn't.
DeleteBeautiful little birds, bring smiles to an otherwise dull day. Happy birding!
ReplyDeleteGillian, I can watch them for hours.
DeleteBuena colección. El último es el más guapo:)))
ReplyDeleteBuen miércoles.
Un abrazo.
Gracias Luara, el último son encantadores pajaritos pacíficos.
DeleteDespite the poor light you've got a lovely selection from 'the perch' Adrian, shame the Cresties didn't want to play though, better luck next time and I hope you get even luckier with those Crossbills tomorrow!...[;o)
ReplyDeleteTrevor, I see them about so I'll catch one on the twig.
DeleteI bet the Crossbills are thirty feet up.
Seems like that Blue should be called a Golden Tit. Just me ;O)
ReplyDeleteYou continue to wow me, Adrian.
R. Mac. The naming of birds is a bit of a mystery.
DeleteNice shots, well done.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, thank you.
DeleteSome great bird shots here Adrian.
ReplyDeleteKeith, it's my sort of birding. sitting six feet from the perch in the warm with a coffee.
DeleteI sure wouldn't have minded taking a few of these. Flat light or not.
ReplyDeleteJohn, it did brighten up a bit but not much.
DeleteTot i axi es un gran cataleg d'ocells i molt guapos. Tens sort de viure en aquest lloc que tot i tenir temperatures tan baixes, es un lloc preciòs.
ReplyDeleteUna abraçada, Adrian
Jordi, es un lugar maravilloso. Voy a ver qué puedo encontrar en la actualidad.
DeleteAdrian, I love the look of these birds. They are stunners. The lighting makes them stand out. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteChris they are all plentiful here but I don't mind whether they are common or not.
DeleteHopefully an ostrich will arrive to chew on your fat balls.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures once more.
YP, a penguin is definitely on the cards.
DeleteA fine selection of visitors. Great to see the Ltt's visiting the fat balls. Quick question do you leave the food out overnight?
ReplyDeleteDouglas, I'll have to check the LTT photos as this one has an orange eyelid. Maybe they all do.
DeleteYes I leave the feeders out. Sometimes squirrels trash them but I think they are sleeping at the moment.
But why not the Long-tailed Tit, its the best Adrian.
ReplyDeleteBob, I love Long Tailed Tits I just prefer to see them off the feeders.
DeleteWatch out for ostriches, and congratulations on these very fine shots!
ReplyDeleteBill, I 'll keep a wary eye out.
DeleteA great selection. The perch idea is working well.
ReplyDeleteJohn, there are a few more to get here, Dunnock, Greenfinch and Crested Tit. There was a female Snow Bunting on the car park yesterday afternoon. That would be cause for celebration.
DeleteYour twig worked very well for a perch. You got some excellent bird photos.
ReplyDeleteRed, it is a bit close to the window but is working fine.
DeleteThe twig is such a great idea for the van and thee shots are great. Now I am hoping for more images of Crested Tit and Crossbill
ReplyDeleteMargaret I'll do my best but it is raining and foggy here.
DeleteBrilliant photos, but I won't ask how you managed to take them as I'm sure I wouldn't understand the answer.
ReplyDeleteFrances, I bet you do I pressed the button.
DeleteFor flat light, they look pretty warm and lovely to me.
ReplyDeleteHilary, it is very murky weather but the sun almost shone yesterday.
