Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus (M)
It breeds across Europe and much of temperate and northern Asia. Most birds migrate south in winter, but those in the milder south and west of the range are resident. It is common in reedbeds and also breeds in drier open areas such as moorland and cultivation. For example, it is a component of the purple moor grass and rush pastures, a type of Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the UK. It occurs on poorly drained neutral and acidic soils of the lowlands and upland fringe.
The common reed bunting is a medium-sized bird, 13.5–15.5 cm long, with a small but sturdy seed-eater's bill. The male has a black head and throat, white neck collar and underparts, and a heavily streaked brown back. The female is much duller, with a streaked brown head, and is more streaked below.
Despite its name, the Reed Bunting breeds across a range of habitats from reedbeds and conifer plantations to hedgerows and arable crops like oil seed rape. During the non-breeding season, this species is dependent upon weed seeds, and as such, Reed Buntings would have joined other species in winter flocks on farmland stubbles. The decline of this species matches that of other farmland species like Tree Sparrow and Linnet. The increasing winter use of gardens during the 1980s probably reflects the decrease in availability of winter food.
The Red-crested Cardinal gets its common name from its red head and prominent crest. Native to northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, the Red-crested Cardinal has been introduced to various regions of the world including Hawaii. Mainly a seed eater, it generally searches for seeds and small arthropods on or near the ground.

Perhaps one of the shyest and most secretive of our garden birds, the Bullfinch is a specialist bud and seed eater. Due to their bud eating habits, many thousands used to be legally trapped and killed in our orchards each year. In times past, it was also taken as a cage-bird as it is rather skilled at mimicry. Following heavy declines in recent decades the population is now recovering and it's conservation status is amber.
According to the BTO, the Bullfinch is typically seen in fewer than 10% of gardens in any week, preferring rural gardens connected to small woodlands. My garden backs onto open fields and moorland and there are precious few trees but this year I have had a male and female visit my feeders occasionally. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they decide to stick around and increase the local population.
Taken at RSPB Old Moor.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Tourterelle turque,
(Streptopelia decaocto - Eurasian Collared Dove)
Taille : 32 cm
Envergure : 47 à 55 cm.
Poids : 125 à 225 g
Longévité : 16 ans
Essentiellement granivore, elle ajoute à son ordinaire, dès l'arrivée des beaux jours, quelques fleurs, insectes, bourgeons qu'elle consomme avec gourmandise.
Elle boit par succion et n'a pas besoin de jeter la tête en arrière pour avaler.
Elle est native d'Inde, Sri Lanka et Myanmar. L'espèce a migré en Europe au cours du siècle dernier, et son habitat s'étend continuellement, et ce jusqu'au cercle Arctique en Scandinavie./
Cet oiseau est la gentillesse même..!

Essentially a seed-eater, it adds to its ordinary, as soon as the fine weather arrives, a few flowers, insects, buds which it consumes greedily.
She drinks by suction and does not need to throw her head back to swallow.
She is native to India, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. The species migrated to Europe over the last century, and its range is continually expanding, all the way to the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia;

Similar in size and shape to the chaffinch, the male brambling has a black head in summer, and an orange breast with white belly. In flight it shows a long white rump. Gregarious in winter, it may form flocks of many thousands and often joins with chaffinches. Numbers can vary between winters depending on food supplies. It is a Schedule 1 species.

Cardinals are medium-sized redbirds characterized by a unique crest, a black mask on the face and a short cone-shaped bill. They are known for their vivid red color, however only the male presents itself in the bright colors. The female has grayish shades through her body with duller red wings and tail. Young cardinals are similar to females but rather then orange or reddish bills they have black or grey ones.
The male cardinal is very territorial and protects his breeding space from any male that comes his way. During the mating season, which begins in March, the males are so hot-blooded, that although they breed near birds of other species, they will never allow one of their own kinds to nestle in their territory. A male cardinal can be seen frequently following another from bush to bush, emitting a shrill note of anger, and diving aggressively towards the trespasser.
This combative action will continue until the transgressor has been satisfactorily ousted. Upon his exile, the victor will perch himself up in his favorite tree and begin pouring his heart out in an unmistakable song of cardinal exultation.
Cardinals do not migrate, and as a result they live their entire lives within one or two kilometer radius of where they were born. In the United Stated of America, the cardinal is the official bird of seven states. These states include: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.
The Cardinal is a seed eater with a strong bill. He also likes fruits - small berries - and insects. Towards autumn they frequently ascend to the tops of tall trees in search of grapes and berries. Cardinals tend to be as fond of succulent or pulpy fruits as they are of the seeds of corn and grasses. Cardinals are very beneficial as they also eat a variety of weed seeds and insects that that can be injurious to humans.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
the violet-eared waxbill (uraeginthus granatinus -male-)
is a wonderful little bird.it belong to the waxbill family and it's mainly a seed eater.
these birds live in shrub dense thickets as the acacia you can see here.
