Every year I put out oranges hoping to attract a pair of Orioles. The only thing I got was ants. This year I managed to lure them.

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

Happily chirping away, in the sunshine, behind my house this morning.

Male cardinals are very pretty, no matter what time of the year it is.

Taken last January in Kensington Gardens. Who could have imagined then what this January would be like.

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

A male Mountain Bluebird hunting insects!! Photot taken in Bickleton, Washington, known as the Bluebird capital of the world. The Bluebirds migrate to Bickleton each Spring after wintering in Mexico and California.

I was driving back from Fingeringhoe reserve with no success, when I spotted a few Linnets on a wire fence! It's amazing how close you can get when your sitting in the car! Luckily the background was ok too! First one I've photographed for a few years!

In garden in Cornwall

Got a surprise when this flew out of the undergrowth at Abberton reservoir!

Seeing one of these handsome birds is always a thrill, particularly as I never see them where I live, in rural Suffolk. The colours are just stunning, aren't they?

This bird was photographed on Cavenham heath.

Looking forward for those Orioles to come by. They normally stop by the first week of May and stay around for two weeks.
