Just moved house and have been here about a month now. Location is great, surrounded by woods and fields. I have spotted about 9 different species to the garden so far. A large fatball lasts about two days :) here are a couple of Robin pics, and a Young Tit, and one of our place, our house is at the far end near the wood.

Thanks, still sorting out boxes at the mo so I have not got too much time on my hands. Here is one more which I believe is a Nuthatch? I have not seen one of these since my childhood. Not the best of shots cos he was a bit skitty. Is it a male?

Nice shots, well grabbed. What lens were you using?

My wife feeds the birds in our garden and goes through countless bags of fat balls and feed as well.Only thing is the local sparrow hawk has noticed the birds and is a frequent visitor to the feeders.

All excellent shots, and you got a great place to live. The nuthatch, if it were here is called a Red Breasted Nuthatch, and this one is a female. The male will have a black head stripe over the crown, females are grey.

Thanks for the feedback Guy`s. The lens I am using is the 70-200 f4L. I have used the 1.4 T/C on some shots as well. Her is one more of the Nuthatch which I took this morning.
