This morning was a bit dull out, but I decided to take a walk to the glen. I still have bird seed in a bin in the garden, but haven't been feeding the birds for a while now, so took a pot of seed with me to walk up towards the cemetery as there seemed to be a lot of robins and other birds about up there and not so many pigeons. I also took monkey nuts to feed the squirrels. A lot of other folk feeding the squirrels and pigeons as I passed through so set off for the walk up the glen first. The path to the cemetery was blocked off, maybe because there is work being done on the bridge that goes over the park. So went off in a different direction to see if I could find any small birds.. The glen was looking lovely as usual.
When I got up higher I did manage to see and feed some birds, this handsome blackbird.
There were two or three robins, most of the pictures weren't great, but this one is nice and clear.
On the way down I spotted a bit on the rocks in the water, I presume it is some sort of wagtail as it's tail was most definitely wagging!
Another shot of the stream, this time sort of through a built up bit.
Back down it squirrel corner I did get to feel quite a few.
This afternoon I have done some quilting and some overdue dusting and polishing. Will take pictures of the quilt progress tomorrow. The Voice battles tonight and then Casualty, so that's the evening sorted!
Glad you found some more robins, as I remember us seeing a lot of them when we walked around there. It's definitely a great place for feeding, and photographing the birds. The photo of the robin is particularly good. You're so lucky having it right on your doorstep. As for the squirrels, well they're just lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are, and they have an awful lot of admirers!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics again, I think the robins seem much bigger now, always remembered them being tiny. Wonderful colours, the wagtail is very pretty. Such nice soroundings for them in the glen. X
ReplyDeleteThe further you walk up the less people around, so lots more of the smaller birds there. x
