Really been enjoying looking at your wildlife. Thought I'd share some of the birds found in britain that I've taken around the country.
can't wait to own my own house and have hanging tables for them all to come visit me. At the moment I am hanging feeders in the only tree that the landlord has that will keep it clear of the local cats
You know, it is soooooo neat to be able to see things *flowers/birds/etc.* from around the world... when you'd never get a chance to see them from your own back yard... really..
When you posted a Robin and Goldfinch.. They look totally different from the kinds that are over here...
Thanks for sharing those and taking a peak into your birds...
bbbbbbbbb Weezie

Great pictures Badkitti! Thanks for sharing... If you google "cedar hill birds" or "cedar hill critters" (include the ""), you can see a few of my forest friends from my hill....

Here are the birds we feature on our Christmas Cards. They are the Northern Cardinals and Chickadees. In my case my picture is of a Carolina Chickadee. It was the very first visitor to my new feeder that is shown in the picture. There are MANY different kinds of Robins worldwide. Robins are members of the Thrush family, as are Bluebirds, better known to the world as, "The Bluebird of Happiness" or the bird in the Wizard of Oz song, "Over the Rainbow".

Thanks Thornius - something new everyday eh?
Apparently "Robins first appeared on Christmas cards as a representation of Victorian postmen, who wore red tunics and were known as ‘redbreasts’." RSPB webpage
I hope to have a local robin to keep me company when gardening if I ever get a garden. They are known over here for perching nearby in the hope that dig them up some food, and can get quite friendly.

We call twitchers "Birdwatchers, or just birders over here." And I use the RSPB live webcams to view and get screenshots of British birds live. (That's where I got the picture of the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker) We have many different kinds of blackbirds here in the U.S. My favorite is the Red-Winged Blackbird. You can see pictures of it on Google Image Search. Our robins here are VERY tame often knowingly approaching people or allowing people to approach to within 1/2 meter.
