Birds in Eileen's Garden on the Isle of Wight

When I was last on the Isle of Wight, I called at my friend Eileen's home to go birding with her for the day, but before we left there, I took these bird images through her kitchen window.  Later in the week I will show some more birds we found that day at Newtown Nature Reserve.

  3. Beautiful images, Margaret, I love the starling. Such striking features, not easily seen on photos. As far as I can ascertain, this post arrived on blogger at 8.00 and the previous one at 7.30. I think they are separate posts. I clicked on "newer posts" below from the previous post to arrive at this post. Hope that makes sense. Greetings, Jo

  8. Pretty photos with the light just so. Thank you for letting me know about the ID on my goose. I think it is more like a Greylag goose than a Pink footed one. The reason I love blogging so much is the help I get identifying the bird photos I take, so I very much appreciated your input. Thanks again Margaret and have a wonderful day.

  11. Oh my, your Gold Finch is very different than ours ... more colorful in that ours don't have red on their face, but ours are a much brighter yellow in the summer. Out her kitchin window ... I would love to have those birds in sight of my window. I have many, but these are lovely. Have a wonderful day, Margaret ...

  17. Those are the prettiest pictures of starlings that I have ever seen! The Green finch looks just like the gold one, just a bit of a different color. Love the blackbird's matching eyes and beak! He is very fashionable!

  18. Such pretty birds. A woman from Shropshire introduced me to the poem, 'One for sorrow, two for joy' about the magpie.

  23. Dearest Margaret; Wow, what a beautiful collection birds♡♡♡ How envious for the environment! Never can I have the experience to see these kind. I just can say here that the pigeon's color is a bit different :-)

  24. The green is very beautiful but also very beautiful starling comes over with his beautiful feathers package. What there are still many different birds:-)

  25. I love the spotted feathers on the goldfinch's wings--so pretty, and the red is unexpected. Starlings are really pretty birds. I think it's their attitude and sheer number that trouble me...at least when they are bickering over the peanuts and trying to eat an entire suet cake in a day.

  26. Great shots Margaret - the pigeon looks like it's been paint bombed!
