Some more usual garden birds.(except for the Redpoll)

A few photos of some of the commoner birds visiting the garden, although saying that a pair of Redpolls was a surprise-the first for my garden, although I thought they may put in an appearance on day. I still get a lot of enjoyment trying to get a half decent photo of common species ,and just watching them come and go is a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Red Kite_ a new garden tick!

Surprised to look out of the kitchen window last week to see 2 Red Kites flying low over the field,I grabbed my bins and camera and was treated to five minutes of them flying over the garden and fields, and even managed a few record shots in my excitement.
