The most Beautiful bird you may have seen

Errm Wikipedia tried to take pics with phone but no good, it was having a go at windows too

Fantastic picture, what sort of camera/lens?

I'm tempted to get one of those brackets that attaches your phone to a telescope (a meade cassegrain) and see if I can get some decent snaps of stuff like the crescent moon, and the like.

But I'm a bit tight, so might try to fabricate one instead

We often get a pair of Pied Wagtails scurrying around the back garden.
I love the way they always seem to be in a rush like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
We call them Peter & Paul though god knows if they are male or female and whichever one lands first is called Peter! LOL
Stock picture, not mine.

Back at work today, sitting in the van having a brew and I saw a Grey Wagtail going from car to car attacking its reflection in wing mirrors

That's a great picture.

You should have a iPhone. They don't use windows.

Try a stick and a couple of cable ties

I'd stay well clear of those Canada Geese when they have youngsters!

may be not the most beautiful, but for me tonight it was, Have been watching a group of Crossbills on our walk in the woods since the beginning of Lockdown but normally they stay right up in the tops and can just be made out with the binocs. But tonight this young onecame close enough for a decent snap

That secateur shaped beak is not for cutting, it is used to part the scales on a pine cone so as it can get to the seed with its tongue. A very specialised bird, and a very difficult one to see let alone photo.

Our local B & Q store had a Robin that built a nest inside up in the eaves of the roof on a beam

They went in and out the store as and when customers activated the automatic doors

They had to cordon part of the store off

may be not the most beautiful,

Never the less... That is a beautiful bird. I think our native birds are under appreciated
