Bird on a stick mk II 22 04 24 I could hear that distinctive song but couldn't see him in the Hawthorn bushes. Then he moved to an open spot. One of my favourite birds. Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) Great Corby, Cumbria. @Natures_Voice @_BTO @CumbriaBDC #sharemysigma

Bird on a stick 23 04 24 Pair of Greenfinch and two pairs of Bullfinches today, a bit of posturing by the two males while the females ignored each other and ate seed. Female Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW @cumbriabirds #sharemysigma #bos2024

Bird on a stick 19 04 24. Unfortunately the log containing the Jay's peanuts is just a bit too close to the hide for his liking. The slightest movement and it scatters. Jay (Garrulus glandarius) @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW #gardenhide #bos2024 #sharemysigma

Bird on a stick 17 04 24 Today it's been bird of prey central. The Buzzards and another pair of Sparrowhawks were displaying and mewing and the resident SH was dive bombing the feeders. Here he is taking 5. Male Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) @Natures_Voice #sharemysigma #bos2024

Bird on a stick 16 04 24 Female Chaffinch, a little brown bird often overlooked by photographers, well me especially. Lovely little birds. Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW #sharemysigma #bos2024 #BirdsOfX

Bird on a stick 14 04 24 Spent the day looking for something a bit different to sit on a stick for me. Walked several miles but no birds wanted to co-operate, so it was back to the hide. Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW #sharemysigma #bos2024
