A back yard visitor. No birds at the feeder that day. It's always exciting to see one of these ! Taken through a window so - - -
I'd been wondering why I haven't had any birds at my feeders for the last few days. Then I saw this beautiful little guy perched in the feeder tree. I would assume that it was a male as it appeared very small - about Kestrel size. This is the first one I have noted in my yard and I hope he comes back from time to time but not take up permanent residence here.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
Photographed at my home. There are some interesting shadows on this bird. Shadows of small tree branches almost look like they are coming out of this birds shoulder. IMG_1173

It was a personal highlight of 2025 to finally do Sharp Edge, having read so much about it and watched so many Youtube videos. Thankfully the day I chose was dry and the rock was grippy. People lose their lives here each year, mostly through attempting it in the wrong weather conditions.
This image is also perhaps a strained metaphor for this point in time, with the world balancing on a knife edge etc? :-) Let's hope things get better in 2026.. Happy New Year everybody!
