A bit of colour visits the Ivy.

I had some lovely surprise visitors this morning feasting on the Ivy berries in my garden.

This pair of Red Wings.

All I get is wood pigeons and starlings  though a little robin does pop by the feeder every day

Things must be bad to bring these into the town.

I used to see hundreds of these and Field Fares growing up in a little village miles from anywhere.

Never seen any since I moved into the town.

Yes fieldfares were a common sight as a lad on the school playing field remember those every school had massive playing fields they’re called housing estates these days , though did see a flock of lapwings the other day heading for the fallow fields on way back from work the other day .

That is so true David.

Haven't seen Lapwings for years now 😢

Nice pics Graham. The last few years we had a biggish flock over our gardens eating my Holly berries and wind fall apples over two others, but nothing this year. We have though become Goldfinch central with a flock of over a Hundred odd birds between the gardens. My feeders are getting through a kilo of sunflower hearts in two days. I have bought a 12kg sack to keep them going through this cold spell. God knows where they have been getting water from as everything is frozen.

Lovely to see Graham .. They'd get washed away today!

Lovely birds. We have had a few pass through last month.

Last March we had a lot together with Field Fares and Mistle Thrushes plus bog standard Thrushes visiting the field next door, hoping we get the same this year.
