    Thaks Bitzy, he seemed very relaxed last night. I even had to stop taking pictures at one point when he came too close (minimum focus distance and all that). 😉

    Shy, but getting less shy 🙂

    some nice shots there. I guess the ones you submitted will have got accepted on WAB! 😀

    Words, see the second shot (on the link below) with a huge flock of little birds in a field.
    I know it's not a good shot… was too far away and it was very misty and hazy after the snow storm. I fixed it up as much as I could.
    Have any idea what they might be?

    They were just trotting along, all in a line, on top of the snow.
    It was funny to watch them.
    Looked like they were on some kind of a crusade or a march.

    Adele, yes they seem to be more tolerant. Not like the old fox, but at least they walk out on me rather than run!

    Neil, thanks. The WAB shot should be showing now.

    He certainly is…. And here he is from tonight, up on the garage roof.

    Bitzy, they look a bit like our pied wagtails. From what I could find on the web you seem to have 'white wagtails' in your neck of the woods, but it's tricky to be sure. Nice shot though!

    Just LOOK at that Expression! Priceless!

    (from tonight) . . I really love this shot.

    Wonderful Words,,,, simply Wonderful…!

    What a neat shot! He looks like he's asking a question!

    @Bitzy – I'd guess snow buntings.

    Thaks Nikki. You're absolutely right about the different personalties.
