My world with Nature.

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


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.

Walk up a mountain.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 6:12 am

It was quite a walk up one on the local mountains today. Lots of lichens, mosses were everywhere, photographed the rarest fern on the island. This was a small pond that we past, thought it was worth a picture.

One of the garden visitors this time. A Bewicks Wren, builds 3 or 4 nests then lets the female decide which one to use.

Mandarin duck

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.

A first for me.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2010 6:19 am

Had the chance to take some photos of a wood duck, it has to be one of the best looking ducks that there is. Its colours are amazing. I know some people see them often like I see the bald eagles and the herons, but then you know, sometimes they are not quite as common in other parts of the country. It is a big country too.

Another water bird, the Coot.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:32 am

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

Downy Woodpecker.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:25 am

I've had five woodpeckers visit the garden and this downy is one. The flicker hasn't been around for a while to the feeders but I have seen them in the garden.

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.

This is the first time I have caught a merganser out of the water. I just managed the one shot though.
