Buzzard

 Not so easy to catch his beauty on camera.

Mostly they are already gone before you can grab your camera or a car comes by before you can take your shot. 

Anyway glad I caught one, though not the way I would like. but one buzzard far away is better than no buzzard at all.

Pheasant

This week a very rare bird visited my garden. A Pheasant; Not a garden bird, but mostly seen in the fields and wood.

He (or better say she) came for a drink from the pond.

You could tell she was very shy, constantly looking up and around to see whats around. After a quick drink she ran away on high heels.

Squirrel and nuts

Squirrel is moving like a vacuum cleaner over the grass.

Sniffing out for hidden nuts be has berried days before. It does not  look like he finds some. So I throw out some nuts I have earlier collected for him. A few moments later he's back and finds them.

I wonder what's going on in his mind. Few minutes ago there were no nuts! and now there are!

What a surprise that must be. With a smile in my heart I throw out some more nuts.
 

Brambling

 Last week, there was a special bird here in my garden.

Only during wintertime they are staying here, coming from the northern countries. 

A Brambling, (Keep) having a drink from a birdbath.
