Whats in your garden

[Winston Churchill (Sir)]

Please share yours if you like

Sometimes we think we HAVE to go out to get photos but sometimes they are right in our own gardens

I have photographed 62 species in my garden already. And no I don't have a big garden
From doves and sparrows to birds of prey - but I wont bore you with the whole lot

I have photographed 62 species in my garden… but I won't bore you with the whole lot.

Winston, please do 'bore' us! This is a wonderful idea.

I am a slow learner: almost every morning I walk straight into a spider's web. Ours is a large garden and there are new webs aplenty every day. Pity is that I cannot identify spiders. Birds—even those in your backyard (Jen and I lived in Africa a long time ago)—are easy*. Maybe, someone else can help with this spider whose web did not get tangled up in my face!

David - Sadly I am very bad at identifying anything at the best of times. I like your spider - and more than often wish I had more insects and thingies in my garden. I have plenty geckos - my Canadian teenage nieces calls them Iguanas I believe you identified the birds correctly.

Rookie Roy - thank you kindly - Waiting for yours !

Those are some beautiful visitors and very nicely captured. They look exotic compared to what wanders around our house.

Superb set of pictures Elsa

I don’t have a garden and your photos make me envious

 

[Winston Churchill (Sir)]

Thanks Dan and Phillippe

Beautiful birds, very well photographed. I began a project to take one interesting photograph of the natural features or visitors to an area within 200 feet of our back door for a year and am closing in on the end of the third month.

 

[Winston Churchill (Sir)]

Thank you - I hope you will share those when you are ready
