Green road seems a bit of an oxymoron

The thrush, American Robin? A hard watch for someone that lives in a country where they are a rarity ๐Ÿ˜„

It just learn birds. The rest is a carefree mystery ๐Ÿฅฐ
It blew my mind when I discovered that Red Admirals and others migrate. How does something so delicate make it over the sea ?? ๐ŸŒŠ

I'm sure you will know a painted lady when you see one. The earliest I've seen one is at the start of April. They're migrants and quite large really ๐Ÿฆ‹

Woodlark, Stonechat in the sun & a Hawfinch in the mist

Woodlark, Stonechat in the sun & a Hawfinch in the mist

Yearning for spring, migration & bird song. So it was a bit wonderful this morning.
A Hawfinch in misty woodland made it feel like it hadn't been a waste of time, despite no LS Wood as yet.
The fog & mist lifted to reveal several pairs of Stonechat & Woodlark, Yellowhammer, Linnets & Mipits ๐Ÿชถ

Just absentmindedly looked out the window, wondering what time it gets light, and it's already getting there ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿฅณ

Today was lovely in the garden for birds. 2 Goldcrests in the old Christmas tree, male and female Blackcap, and I love the flicky acrobatics of the Dunnocks ๐Ÿฅฐ
