Some sweet and dainty collared doves from this afternoon in the garden. #birds #gardenbirds #gardenwildlife #doves

House sparrow in dogwood. He looks sweet but he'd just seen off a rival with much shouting and lots of aggression! #gardenwildlife #gardenbirdsuk #housesparrow #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

A new visitor to the garden today - a female blackcap ❤️ #birds #gardenbirds #blackcap

A bit hit and miss in the hide today. Still, here's a lovely male sparrow in the bright sunshine ❤️ #birds #housesparrow #gardenbirds

Sunny winter robin in the garden #birds #gardenbirds #robin

Oil study of a kittiwake, Farne Islands, Northumberland. #birds #oilpainting #wildlifeart

My best picture of the female bullfinch so far - she's a little shyer than the two males. #birds #gardenbirds #bullfinch #wildlifegarden

Some of the visitors to the garden feeders today - it's getting a bit messy on the ground underneath but the dunnock doesn't seem to mind! #birds #gardenbirds #britishbirds

Iwonder who's been eating all the fat balls? 🤔 #birds #starling #gardenbirds #wildlifegarden

A heavily cropped photograph of one of our male bullfinches. They spend as much time on the ground as on the feeders. I've yet to snap Mrs Bullfinch but I have watched her a few times gathering seeds under the feeders (out of camera range!) #birds #gardenbirds #wildlifegarden #welshbirds

Winter Dabchick, oil on board. One from my archives. #birds #dabchick #wildlifeart

A pair of sparrows from yesterday's session in the garden hide. I do love sparrows, so chipper and feisty. #birds #gardenbirds #wildlifegarden

Our resident blackbird. Looking at his leg it seems wrong around the knee. Possible healed break? Sadly the foot is pretty useless but he seems to be coping well with it. #birds #blackbird #gardenbirds

Another handsome male House Sparrow. This particular individual posed for quite a while - mostly because he was being warned off by a female sparrow who had commandeered the fat feeder! #birds #housesparrow #ukwildlife #gardenbirds

Another lovely male bullfinch in the garden today. He does love sunflower hearts! #birds #bullfinch #gardenbirds #gardenwildlife

One from the archive: 'Leo's Jungle' a Rousseau inspired painting for a special little boy. #naiveart #junglepaintings #oilpainting

A sweet little dunnock, mopping up the leftovers from the sparrow feeders. #birds #gardenbirdsuk #dunnock #wildlifegarden

Another starling photo from yesterday's brief hide session in the garden. What beautiful birds they are - so underrated. #birds #gardenbirds #wildlifegarden

Another hour spent in our garden hide this afternoon. A grey, middling sort of day, but the birds don't mind. How exotic does this winter plumage starling look? Gorgeous! #birds #gardenbirds #starling

'Here Comes the Rain Again - Oystercatchers & Juv. Herring Gull' oil on board 2024. #birds #waders #oystercatchers #britishbirds

Lucky to snap this handsome blackbird today whilst in the hide. On closer inspection he has a damaged foot. He looks pretty healthy though. #birds #gardenwildlife #gardenbirds

Underwater puffin painting in oils - I'm lucky to be married to another artist who's also an ace underwater photographer! #birds #puffins #pembrokeshire

Lovely hen chaffinch checking out the seed feeders ❤️ #birds #gardenbirds #wildlifegarden

The robin has been eying up the feeders all week but doesn't seem to have perfected a good technique as yet. He/she usually ends up under the feeders mopping up the leftovers. #birds #gardenbirdsuk #robin

Mr Bullfinch paid a call to the feeders today - much excitement in my little hide when he appeared!

Study of a common tern from a visit to the Farne Islands in 2016. #FarneIslands #oilpainting #wildlifeart #birds

We have a garden full of sparrows, which, given the decline of the species here in the UK, does feel very special. Each and every one is very precious. #birds

Pretty cold in the garden today! #birds #wintercold

Another male House Sparrow in the garden showing off his lovely chestnut feathers. #birds #housesparrow

Rock-pooling Oystercatcher - original oil. Sold! #birds #birdart #wildlifeart

Handsome visitor to the bird feeders - a lovely male house sparrow. #birds

Dunnock on the bird feeder. Love these little guys. #birds

Lovely hen house sparrow in the garden today
