My world with Nature.

Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.


Amanita's, the poisonous ones.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:09 pm

Just took my fourth Amanita, I now have taken four in my collection of 146 fungi. Although they are poisonous, they are nice looking mushrooms and always great to find.

Red-breasted Sapsucker.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:24 am

This species doesn't come into the back garden very often, the last time I saw one in the back garden wes 4 or 5 years ago. Anyway, I saw one today and managed to take a few shots. A Red-breasted Sapsucker, it was busy making holes in the tree for the sap. Had a great trip to Hawaii.

A Gray Jay

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 1:40 am

This is a mountain bird but is very friendly and had names like, whiskey jack, camp robber and Canada Jay. Nests very early, as the snow melts. Always keen to come close.

Hi. Eileen, I took a picture of a manderin duck in the UK, at Great Ayton in Yorkshire, it was on a river and I was really amazed with that one too.

We have a few of these stay for the winter, strange birds, hard to photograph black, like white is, hard to get the details.

Bushtit.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2010 6:42 pm

The witch hazel is flowering already and when we see the weather in the UK we wonder how the birds are doing over there. There was a bit of sad news in our paper today, where I was taking pics at a lake over Christmas, they found a womans body in the water.

Bath night.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 6:40 am

Just a few bushtits enjoying the water. I have 6 dishes like this one spread along the railing around the deck, the bushtits use the same one all the time. If it is full of birds, they wait, they don't go to one of the other dishes.
