Leicestershire Garden Gallery
These pictures are all of birds taken from either the house or the garden and are of wildlife in either the garden or viewed from the garden.
In many instances a better photo of
the individual species taken elsewhere can be found in the species pages rather
than those taken in the garden shown below.
I have also kept this page to only one picture per species, and often there are
more pictures on the individual species pages.
Greater Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpeckers
We are very lucky in that two of the three woodpecker species often visit us
|
|
|
Blue, Great, long-tailed and Coal Tits
all visit on a regular basis (obviously more so during the winter months)
Amongst the finches, Goldfinch and Bullfinch are frequent visitors
(as are both Greenfinch and Chaffinch)
Brambling
Brambling was a good
surprise find one February morning in 2007
Indeed Brambling are scarce enough to be reported both locally and nationally
so to find c. 6 birds feeding in my garden was very welcome.
Robin
Another common garden bird that you would expect to see in the garden
Sparrowhawk
A few pictures of this occasional visitor to my Leicestershire garden,
also often seen flying past when my camera is nowhere to be seen..........

There are more picture still to sort and save in web format
also there are many more
species seen but not photographed from the garden including:
right is a long range picture of a Linnet in a nearby tree

a list of species
visiting the
garden in the past 12 months would include:
|
Mammals include
Red Fox A common visitor often seen from the garden but not usually close enough to photograph, indeed this shot is only just good enough quality to use
Rabbit Rabbits are also common in the fields at the back of the garden and thankfully only rarely seen in the garden itself. Usually when in the garden, I am to busy chasing them out rather than taking pictures.
