That owl is breathtaking!
 
Thanks for the lovely comment.

@debrasue - I love your nuthatch. I live very close to a nature reserve and for the last month I've been trying to get a decent shot of one on the feeder but it keeps evading me. Maybe it's all part of the game ... But I'll get him in the end
 
They are usually very shy birds. But I got lucky; we live near woodland and he decided to visit the feeder literally right outside my study window. Fortunately I keep a camera on my desk..,
 
Your home sounds idyllic, Anna!
 
Ahh, thanks William! Yes, I did see her post about being away with no internet connection, but it's true I had temporarily forgotten, so thanks for reminding me. Although I wouldn't think anyone was being rude - I would probably have put it down to missing a post!
I am loving this thread, by the way!
 

My little study faces east and there's a pretty forsythia hedge outside the window, so when the sun comes up at this time of year it fills the room with golden light. It's impossible to start work in a bad mood when that happens, especially when there are robins, bluetits, long-tailed **** and blackbirds bouncing around the feeders just outside the window. I love the Spring......
 
What a lovely start to the morning... Great colour co-ordination, too!


Apparently, the measure of a Great Tit's attractiveness to his potential lady-friends lies in the density and breadth of the black stripe running down his chest (who knew!). So I'm guessing that the handsome chap on the nut feeder this morning must be Channing Tatum,

Not a great photographer, but I love the colour of the trees across the lane from us at this time of the year.

Wow! That is a really lovely picture...
I know what you mean about the colour of spring leaves - they're almost fluorescent, aren't they? When I was a child, my Grampy used to call the pale, new hawthorn hedges"bread & cheese" and Somerset country folk used to eat the leaves like salad.
I love the way the sun catches the tops of the tallest trees as it sets this time of year, too.
