Bird CCTV
My own photos and video clips of birds, some assorted wildlife and the occasional bit of scenery.

- Where I often walk there's a 10m long row of buddleia bushes that the chiffchaffs seem to love, there's always some hopping about in looking under every leaf for insects. This one decided to sit still and have a quick preen but had to do it behind some foliage. #birds #ukbirds
- Tufted ducks on the local fishing lake, they have become experts at diving down and eating the fishermen's ground-bait without getting caught #BirdOfTheDay #Ducks #Birds
- #BirdoftheDay theme is #IridescentIt , some birds do a lot of bathing to keep their feathers so glossy, even in the middle of winter both magpies and starlings will take the plunge into the bird bath. #birds #ukbirds
- Is a common chiffchaff brown enough for a #BrownIsBeautiful #BirdoftheDay 🤔 This one was darting about a buddleia bush looking for insects on a cold but sunny January day a couple of weeks ago, the few moments it did sit still it was quite fluffed up. #birds #ukbirds
- A fluffy European robin on the mostly frozen bird bath getting itself a rather cold drink of water with its #ShortBeaks #BirdOfTheDay #birds #uklbirds
- A European robin for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ScratchersAndPruners Don't you hate it when you get water stuck in your ear! #birds #ukbirds
- #BirdOfTheDay is #DucksOnOneLeg , So here is a pair of sleeping mallards, you might say they are tyred 🤦🏼♂️ #birds #ukbirds
- I wasn't aware that the sleek kingfisher also come as #borbs The sun was setting, it was cold and this kingfisher was moving along a reedbed fishing, It did catch a small fish but it swallowed it before I managed to photograph it. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #ukbirds
- #ontheedge is apparently where this pair(?) of common redshanks find the best food, they looked rather cold as the wandered along the mudflat on the river Thames, a dull afternoon a few days ago #BirdoftheDay #birds #ukbirds
- A grey heron standing on a wooden railing with its #YellowEyes and a rather muddy looking leg and feet. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #ukbirds
- A swallow sitting on a fence in mid September, possibly thinking about that long flight home. #birds #ukbirds #BirdOfTheDay #birdonawire
- Peanuts are very fattening you know! It's a 25mm hole, but seems to be a bit of a squeeze for the blue tit, who's probably looking for somewhere warm to roost over the winter. It went in and out 3 times and examined every part of the box. Full Video: youtu.be/MVXCX1yMKS0 #birds #ukbirds
- Not only does this chiffchaff have #SkinnyLegs they also apparently need a good wash. It came back several times during the same day or maybe they were different birds, but it's rare for me to see any. Another longer visit: youtu.be/-MB4X7wJw9c #birds #ukbirds #birdoftheday
- The dusk blue tit territorial disputes continues, even the European robin wonders what's going on. The blue tit spent 4+ minutes outside the entrance making itself look big before giving up. full video: youtu.be/FjPm6ZKuMxg #birds #ukbirds
- Long tailed tits must be the cutest birds that visit the feeder. I usually only see them in the autumn and winter, quite often in mixed flocks with blue tits and great tits, much to the annoyance of the resident blue tit, who will attack them. youtu.be/L9NXhFVKI7Q #birds #ukbirds
- A Eurasian collared dove using the bird bath. They don't spend as much time just soaking as the wood pigeons do. Full Video: youtu.be/O0uSF5YyTCs #birds #ukbirds
- The European robin really likes to make sure every part of it is wet when bathing. Full Video: youtu.be/GjKo650WkGg #birds #ukbirds
- The wood pigeon does not seem to be impressed with the shower it receives while trying to get a drink. The starlings seem to be loving bathing in the hot weather. Full Video: youtu.be/w0yVk27WlJM #birds #ukbirds
- I have a blue tit that sleeps in my kitchen roof above my back door, it's roosted in there for years. The problem is it's another blue tits territory and occasionally it likes to try to stop it going to bed. (grainy video as getting dark) Another attempt: youtu.be/Ay7CrBu1Vo0 #birds #ukbirds
- The great tits can only fit in the mealworm feeder through the bigger round holes as the 25mm mesh is too small, the young ones seem to use trial and error to find a hole where they can get back out. full video: youtu.be/xA9lfI2nFNE #birds #ukbirds
- A young blue tit eating a sunflower heart placed under its foot to hold it. #birds #ukbirds Full Video: youtu.be/yGGkOshSdIk
