A jaybird taking the easy way of getting food in our garden.

I didn't know the English name of this bird until now, it's apparently "great spotted woodpecker". In my mother tongue we call it just "colorful woodpecker".

A siskin in our garden. We live at the edge of a forest so we get all kinds of animals (including birds) in our garden, fantastic for photographs.

Ooh I love mallard ducks! Once when I was walking on a trail around a lake where there are loads of them, I saw a female that was just standing in the middle of the trail, so I said "hello" and she followed me for about a mile halfway around the lake before she saw a break in the shrubbery that she liked and went off into the lake! People walkng the trail the other way really gave us some strange looks!

Definitely a blackbird. Don't you dare question it!

This is the January bird in the bird wall calendar I have! While we have woodpeckers in my area, we don't have this particular woodpecker, so it's neat to see another view of it!

And a seagull. This photograph wasn't taken in our garden for once.

Probably at other birds eating in that direction. We used to put a lot of feeding-places in the winter.

@bekkilyn Once a couple of mallard ducks landed in our pond to take a bath. The pond looked terrible afterwards because they swirled up the ground so much

Here they are taking off again. Typically: the female gracefully, the male like a rocket through the ceiling.

Met theese on a Danish island.

I find it fascinating how ducks sleep on 1 leg with 1 eye open. I can't sleep on 2 legs even, certainly not with an open eye.

Have you ever been intimidated by a bird approaching you?

Here's my mother feeding a robin in our garden.
