These are some more birds I
photographed recently as I walked round the grounds of the National Trust
property at Mount Stewart Gardens near Newtownards. The
water and small birds were all quite a distance away so I was not able to get very
good images of them. The Robin was the only 'poser'!
The birds in order are Robin, Gadwall, Coot, Tufted Ducks, Little Grebe, Chaffinch,Blue Tit, Treecreeper and Pheasant.
I actually had good views of the Treecreeper when it
climbed 2 trees however every time I
tried to take a photograph, it creep round to the other side of the tree,
thence these terrible shots!!!! (for my records only)
I
hope you enjoyed the birds I photographed.
I am linking with SATURDAY CRITTERS.
Many thanks for your visit and also to all who leave comments.
lovely robin, tufted duck, and a pheasant, too!
ReplyDeleteTree Creepers do that here...Naughty little birds.
ReplyDeleteI most definitely did enjoy them. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, your photos of the robin are super! I enjoyed each shot! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot of the blue tit! (No 9)
ReplyDeleteTus imágenes son bellísimas... Muy buenos trabajos
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Hello, Margaret! Lovely shots of all the birds. The Tufted Duck and Robin are some of my favorites. I have had the same problem with our Creepers. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds, love the robin.
ReplyDeleteAll my shoits are record shots! The blue tit in the hole in the tree is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like the beautiful colours of the Robin.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret ~~ You have a wonderful picture of the robin. It is a kind I haven't seen before. The treecreeper is camera shy but you have given his nature. I loved the one where he/she is hiding in the hollowed out former branch site. The pheasant is pretty ands LARGE!!

Beautiful critters photos. Lovely robin and pheasant. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely images. I like the bird in the knot of the tree. Very clever. I find that a lot of birds when they see me and my camera they go around to the other side of whatever they are on. Smarties!

Lovely selection of feathered friends, Margaret!

Magnificent shots you have took, I love them all.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, beautiful captures. I love your robin; it is quite a striking bird. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Jo
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoyed them very much! The birds are lovely and the backgrounds are just incredible, very gorgeous. Enjoy your weekend too.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your robins - they are such sweet little things compared to our big guys here in Canada.
ReplyDeleteyour Robin is so interesting, quite different from ours.
ReplyDeleteVery good shots. Some birds seem to always move at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteThose are great! What a wonderful assortment of birds.
ReplyDeleteLove your first two pics!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of the birds. Perfect shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds! I love the robin and the blue tit. Cute little birds.
ReplyDeleteyour images of the robin are amazing. so close, so much detail. it is an adorable bird!!! i had a pheasant in my back yard, two winters in a row and then i never saw him again.....it was exciting!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the one in the knot of that tree! You really have to be paying attention to spot him. Of course the first one has amazing colors too! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty! I don't think I've ever seen a pheasant before and that robin looks quite different from the ones I am used to.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of birds. I like
ReplyDeleteThose Treecreepers are never easy Margaret. Mostly luck involved in getting a shot.
ReplyDeleteLovely Little Grebe image, I can never get them very well.
Pretty little bird (creeper?) at the top and the pheasant is magnificent in all his glory! All pretty birds ...and great photos as always!
ReplyDeleteThe Robin certainly made up for not being able to get close to many of the other birds Margaret. Robins are such accomodating creatures once they get used to people being around them. Great portraits.
ReplyDeleteWonerful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the Robin yet. I hope they will arrive soon.
