Emy goes Birding

Well I don't have to go very far, this out into my garden, surrounded by fields, with my camera & hey presto birds on my doorstep!

It's been a good turn out so far, finches by the hundred - Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Goldfinches, the odd chirp of a Bullfinch & plenty of Yellow hammers! We have a resident Kestrel, a pair of buzzards & I've just seen a large heron sitting on the pine tree!

I have never got to close to a Yellow hammer before!

Starling - the first one seen this Autumn on the nuts!

Kestrel in flight!

I'm going to use this blog now for the wildlife in my garden & the clouds, sunsets & beautiful scenery of Devon through the seasons. I take so many photos of everything, this little blog will be bombarded soon!

As for my other blogs, I'll keep the Animals are our Equals going & my painting blog will have to wait in the wings - I've done a whole set of new paintings but alas I haven't photographed them yet!

So I am back here now & back to stay for good!
