Nice photos. Take what you can when you can. Or is that stockpiling?

Nah, I'm just picking them up one at a time. I think your horde from Uganda is called stockpiling

Horde? Would that be a Slovenian Horde? I thought you needed more than two!

@xelas Your chance to strike back about your hoard of photos.

Aargh, got me. Of course I was referring to the hoard brought back by your Slovenian horde.

Nice shots....I can see a lot of garden birds appearing on our BY's soon!

If interested I can always post some of my many bulbuls on @Soukous thread . For others, I was told that elderly always take precedence .

Are you saying I'm elderly?

Is that why you always  let Jo have the last word on your Trip report?

That come from my home training. I have always the last word at home: "Yes, darling !"

I clearly missed that one completely.

I have been known to use that acronym as well. But not this year. Well not yet anyway.

I had worked that out some years ago when we met in Austria.

With so many beautiful birds from Tanzania & Uganda being posted at the moment I feel a bit shy about the sole addition to my BY

I did get a couple of other species in the garden but not happy with the pics, so I'll try again later

 

#120 - Common Buzzard - Buteo buteo

From my breakfast table, Ufford, Suffolk

 

I spotted this perched on a tree (the bird not me, I was finishing my breakfast) about 100 metres away

 

The barring had me guessing but I am pretty sure it is a common buzzard

So am I!

Nice one!

You have an attractively positioned breakfast table!

Sometimes, yes. It is not so well positioned as a dinner table because the evening sun shines straight into my eyes. But I wouldn't dream of complaining about the sun shining in UK.

Don't knock feeders. You may be relying on them for some time if you cannot get out.

 

and so it comes to pass 

 

#121 Long-tailed Tit - Aegithalos caudatus

The garden, Suffolk, Uk

 

 

 

[Soukous]

 I seem to be spending a silly amount of time staring out of the windows trying to entice birds into the garden by willpower. 

 

 

#122 - Song Thrush - Turdus philomelos

The Garden, Suffolk, UK. April 2020

The willpower appears to be working well!

Not nearly as well as I'd like.  There are so many birds I can hear but which I cannot get close to for a photograph. 

Linnet, Nuthatch, Green Woodpecker, Whitethroat to name just a few

[Soukous]

but I did get this one

 

#123 - Goldfinch - Carduelis carduelis

My Garden, April 2020.
