Apart from the surprise visit by a Rook today, it seemed to be pretty busy with the regular garden birds including more Corvids and a Robin for MC :) I'm not sure if the shots of the female bullfinch are of two different birds as they certainly look different and we do have at least two pairs...

The weather was fantastic today with clear blue sky and bright sunshine so headed out to Neumann's Flash and Marbury Country Park areas, Nr. Northwhich, Cheshire. I was lucky enough to be able to tick a few more birds off my wish list as hubby and I took 5 and half hours wandering around this amazing...

My friend and I went for a walk in the forest that surrounds us, climbing higher and higher until we reached the moorland at the top of Mynydd Maer Common. Absolutely exhausting, and we're full of aches and pains today, but it was worth it for the incredible views - and in sunshine for once!! There...

A beautiful warm spring day, albeit, a little breezy, so decided to head out to Neumann's flash/Marbury Park areas, nr. Northwich in Cheshire. Had a pleasant walk between the two areas and heard many birds singing loudly, preparing their nesting sites and baby rabbits diving into their burrows !...

i am still happily feeding bird seed variations to my garden visitors but would like any advice on trying some natural foods? i have been given lots of ideas like bacon and meat roast fat strips, obviously bread and others.....anyone got anything they`ve tried and had luck with? someone recently told...

i have just taken this with my compact, not bad for a beginner hey lol

The teacher doesn't seem to have any control over his pupils. Shelduck Something put these up - no sign of Peregrine but there is definitely a Goshawk haunting Slimbridge currently. Cormorant at various times of the day. Birds around the feeders at the Willow Hide...

Visited sand Point in North Somerset after seeing some of dipperboy's pictures on Flickr, as its not a great lot further than Portbury Wharf straight down the M5. It was abeautiful sunny day but it was only when I got there I realised hown strong and cold the wind was. Anyway it was a bracing walk...

Frost and decorations. These are two things I noticed at the weekend. There's definitely more decorations popping up in the area of Bedfordshire where I live. And it was cold too and pretty frosty when I was up and out at first light on Saturday (I hasten to say awake as well, but hey!). So...

Are you in need of a bit of warmth and sunshine after what's been a wet weekend for much of the UK? This gorgeous robin, taken by Kaleel Zibe from RSPB Images , is just the thing to brighten your morning! Let's hope the weather picks up soon...

You might think that it’s the calm before the storm out there in your garden. That the blackbirds and robins are quietly going about their business in readiness for the upcoming breeding season. But, believe it or not, some birds will actually be putting the finishing touches to nests and settling...

I don't think there's much else I can add to this cute photo of a robin by Mark Sisson except to say that I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas.

Here Bradley Stoke Bristol my garden Robin

Today in the garden, on a cold but sunny late afternoon it was a pleasure to listen to this Robin singing, high in a flowering cherry tree.

Hot on the heels of sharing that robins are no longer the nation's favourite Christmas card bird, we thought it was only fair to give you the chance to share your thoughts with us. Visit our RSPB Community poll , vote for your favourite Christmas card bird and leave a comment telling us why...

Is there still room for robins at Christmas? What do you think is the most popular bird to feature on Christmas cards? I bet most people would choose the robin. But this year, we have been surprised to discover that cards with robins on are not our bestsellers. In fact, robin cards are not even...

this robin was taken on a snowy january day in our back garden

A Christmas day robin

He looks like he's consumed a tennis ball! He was so chubby and looked very comical.

I was in Dungannon Park taking landscapes across the lake and I could hear a Robin singing in the laurels beside me. The song became more and more loud and when I turned round he was a metre from me. I managed to get in the one quick shot

We saw burly great skuas powering their way through the stiff breeze. Snow-white gannets sliced the air and tickled the waves with their wingtips. Pilot whales appeared from the depths, a jet of spray came from a sperm whale and a pod of common dolphins joined us to surf our bow wave! I saw lots of...

This photo was taken in a Chicago alleyway.

They are so cute!!
