Think this is a Blue tit youngster just starting to change colour.
Great tit, possibly also a youngster. (Parus major)

I thought this was a large white, but looking again I do not think so. Possibly Pieris family but.....

An absolutely enchanting nature series, dear Diane! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am always delighted to share with you Linda, it is a pleasure. Have a good week Diane
DeleteMagnificent photos Diane, looking at them is like taking a walk through a nature reserve!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Kim much appreciated. Hope your week is a good one.
DeleteIt would probably not be in good taste to say great pair of tits there so I'd better not say it!
ReplyDeleteNo I agree you had better not say it LOL. Hope all is well Diane
DeleteHow lovely photos! I love the birds and the flowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mia for the comment, always a pleasure to share. Have a good day Diane
DeleteHello Diane,
ReplyDeleteI just went through your recent posts and had a smile at your immature Black bird with it's blade grass in the beak! It is always funny to see youngsters playing with something useless and watching their clumsiness!
Your photos are great, that Gatekeeper is gorgeous so are the bees and flowers!
I am still busy sorting and preparing my spanish pics!
Keep well, I hope your are enjoying a better weather than me here!
Hi Noushka, the black bird was so funny it was in and out of the water not knowing what to do, but it had no intentions of putting the grass down LOL
DeleteLooking forward to your Spanish photos.
No the weather is not that brilliant, there seems to be a chilly wind blowing regardless of the sun shining on and off between rain. Take care keep warm, hugs Diane
Great series of beautiful photos of birds, insects and flowers. Have a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, have great day. Diane
DeleteIf the Stargazer doesn't last long it sure makes up for that in its stunning beauty. I'm drooling over the raspberries.
ReplyDeleteThe stargazer is beautiful and given to me by our French neighbour some years ago. Luckily for me, Nigel makes raspberry coulis for me as the seeds give me diverticulitis!! Diane
