Show your Bird Portraits

Thanks to Click, Mackguyver, Jack Douglas and ERHP for your warm welcome and kind words.

Ha Ha Jack, Your offer made me chuckle. It's a very fair one though; Nuthatches aren't a common sight here.

Your picture of the Chickadee is very nice as is the Bluebird from ERHP. It reminded me of the Vera Lynn song:

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see.....

Getting homesick now!

Mind you, I thought the Bluebird was native to North America so I don't know why they'd be flying over Dover?

Thanks again
Terry (sparkie)

Long a go some crazy Englishman (maybe a distant relative of mine) brought over a sparrow and it took over Canada. Why not some pretty little blue tit or .....

Oh well, it has fit in nicely with the crows and magpies; cheap, caw, sqawk! ;)

Jack
