English goldfinch, one of the large group around the house.
Hubby took this fantastic shot of a wood pigeon.
I'm always trying to get a shot of the NZ hawks on our road trips.
Wood pigeons
We have a kingfisher that hangs out on the wires at the house but there has only been one time when I've seen two together.
This NZ hawk was interested in the water in the ditch beside the road.
Wild yellowhammers--I prefer to call them spanaries (sparrow + canary).
Shag/cormorant

Beautiful birds! I love the Wood Pigeons against the blue sky.
Those birds are beautiful.

The wood pigeons are pretty little critters. Nice bird series from your neck of the woods.
Wonderful photos!
the Goldfinch and the Yellowhammer is the same as we have. Bot are beautiful ones. Love the hawk and doves. :)
great set of photos. We get the goldfinches here too, though not often these days. I think the pigeaons are very handsome.
Oh my gosh.... wonderfully colorful birds... Michelle
you guys have the best birds ever you know! I am jealous. love the word apanaries -- and it seems totally right.
Some familiar birds for me, and some less familiar but all such good shots. I particularly love the wood pigeons, in flight and on the tree.
Such a delight to see birds from your area. They are beautiful.
Thank you so much!
What beautiful pictures of birds, you inspire me to keep trying to get a picture of the bald eagle I have seen a couple times in our area :)
Such variety and so beautiful!
Thank you so much for linking up on Wandering Camera!
