Yes, that was what I was thinking. Maybe this one might not do so well with the ladies (if male - not sure), but is able to feed OK without being chased away by the other birds.

Got a great Christmas Eve Bittern spot with c-cat at Brandon 😀 and Whooper Swans too.

Back today with Dave - male Common Scoter; first one there since 2005 allegedly. Now that is a black bird! (Apart from the bill obvs!)

I read that as you calling Dave a male common Scoter, i expect he's had worse.

This photo, not mine, was taken last night at Attenborough Nature Reserve of the Starling murmuration (about 3.45pm)

I spoke too soon! A squirrel has now worked out how to defeat my anti-squirrel mechanism, after a week of trying (if it's the same squirrel, not sure). They really are impressively resourceful little creatures. I have a new idea as to how to defeat this particular approach. We'll see how that plays out...

I saw a red squirrel running along a fence a couple of days ago on the Isle of Wight, too quick for me to get a photo, very cute. :)

Foul day in our part of the world today. Apart from a few crows and magpies I barely remember seeing a bird today

The new year sun seems to have brought the birds out here today, the 2019 list had over 30 ticks on it by the time I got back from my morning run and I haven't been and scanned the res with the bins yet :-)
