SATURDAY CRITTERS - Inch Wildlife Reserve (Part 4)

As I mentioned the other day, I promised to show you more photographs of Yellowhammers and you will also see House Sparrow, Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Dunnock either on the stills or the video at the end of this post.






House Sparrow, Chaffinch (M & F) and Yellowhammer















Greenfinch












On the video I mention a rat and that was when I visited this area in January 2015 which I have not managed to show you as yet (some day!).  The noise you hear in the video is the rain on the ground and on the roof of my car!

 CLICK HERE if the video do not appear below.

 


For next week, I leave Lough Swilly and will continue my journey further north west of Donegal, as the next day,  I was meeting my friend Chris and a couple from my bird class to go for 2 days to Tory Island which is off the coast of Donegal.  However, Mother Nature had different plans so i will tell and show you ALL that starting Monday.

 I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS.

 Many thanks for your visit and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

 Thanks for all the comments you leave. I appreciate every one.

    How bright is the head of a yellowhammer! Love seeing those birds when I'm out cycling, although you don't see as many as a few years ago, sadly.

    What a beautiful bird, that yellowhammer! So plump and cute! (I'm assuming that's the yellowhammer in the first photo?) Have a wonderful weekend, Margaret.

    Lovely post of different birds, Margaret. And I always love hearing your voice! Does the Chaffinch male have a blue head and the female is plain? Have a great weekend. Jo

    I was thinking of yellowhammers earlier today. Thought I have some images not posted. But I never get this close to them and mostly I see them in winter. In summer they are in the woods.

    Lovely little birds! Before I knew the name, I called these guys 'spanaries' (cross between sparrows and canaries)!
