Missus
28 Jan 2025

Missus

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I had a satisfyingly effective day of admin and errands, topped off by seeing not just one but two Goldcrests hunting for food in one of the yews in Holy Trinity churchyard. I’m pretty sure that this is a female, … Continued

This was the second time I witnessed this Nuthatch managing to get three sunflower hearts in its bill at the same time – a few seconds earlier it had achieved the same feat, but then spoiled it by getting overambitious, … Continued

Suspicious

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

It was cold, and becoming stormy, when I arrived in Stratford this afternoon, and the churchyard birds were desperate for food. But unlike many of the ‘regulars’ this little Blue Tit was too suspicious of me to approach the seed … Continued

Plump

It was looking as though it might be an owling kind of day, but I’m still struggling to shake off my New Year virus, and I just wasn’t feeling the love for it, so I went out for lunch with … Continued

Decision

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

It was the dreariest of dreary days, and it was all I could do to drag myself out of bed this morning. Having done that, I couldn’t decide whether or not to go out, and if I did, where I … Continued

I don’t claim to know much, but until today I believed I knew that Goldcrests are entirely carnivorous, eating only small spiders, insects, and larvae. However, my new RSPB Handbook says that they “…will sometimes eat small seeds” – and … Continued

Return of the native

Return of the native

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

This was supposed to have been a desk-bound day, as I continue the struggle to get back on top of all the stuff I allowed to slide over Christmas. But I’m never very good at doing what I ought to … Continued

Ablutions

Water on a duck’s back

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I spent this morning expunging the most festering items from my to-do list.  Sadly the only satisfaction this gave me was that I can now see the surface of my desk again: there’s still a huge heap of paperwork there … Continued

Moody

I’d intended to get out early this morning and take some macro shots of the fabulous hoar frost. But I didn’t check the forecast carefully enough yesterday, and missed the bit where it said that the temperature was going to … Continued
