Everyone loves peanuts! Today, a red-bellied woodpecker visited. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the greatest position to get really good shots. Perserverance!

Really enjoying the birds coming to my garden. There’s a starling with a badly damaged leg (sticks out at an awful angle) but its in my garden every day, running around picking up the seeds dropped by others. Looks happy and us ever so quick. I keep breaking up suet balls into tiny pieces and scattering them so its always got something to nibble at
You’re great for doing that. I guess a bum leg to a bird is better than having a bum wing. 🙂
He looks like he is smiling. Enjoying those peanuts!!!
It’s been quite fun to see all of the birds that come for peanuts and then watch how they eat them. 🙂
I’ve succumbed to bird hypnosis as well, Sascha.

Nice photo
Thank you! 🙂
These birds are so beautiful!
They are! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been sitting here working and he/her comes up to take a peanut and yet I still haven’t gotten a good pic. I will keep trying. 🙂
Maybe you need a camera with a telephoto zoom!?
