    I think your Meadow Pipit maybe a Rock Pipit.

    Thanks Bsal, checked it out more and that fits all right.

    Amazing Lolie, brilliant

    Here he is warding of any intruders earlier today.
    Couldnt get the phone to focus properly.

    He's not the star of the show here though.
    Theres another robin here mostly likely from the same brood that comes in to the house almost every day since July, some days several times a day for its feed of porridge.
    It will happily spend 10 - 15 minutes going about its business eating the porridge and looking for crumbs and paying little heed on whos there before heading out the partially open window.

    A pair of ring-necked parakeets dropped by the garden yesterday.

    Quite abundant in and around London but unusual to see them here so likely some escapees that have learned the ropes?

    Or maybe a few have had their Irish passports come through post-Brexit :pac:

    What cameras would ye recommend for a complete novice with a love of capturing nature moments?

    They've been seen in and around Griffith Park in Drumcondra, Dublin over the last couple of years.

    I use a bridge camera (bridge is a type of camera) as although it will not be deliver the same iq as a DSLR, the quality is still good enough for me, it is lighter, cheaper, more versatile and easier to use.

    I do have a DSLR too, but now only use it very sporadically.

    Lolie, I love your blackbird redberry photo. Is that popcorn leftover from when your Robin comesover to watch netflix in your hand?

    Haha.
    Thats holly berries, apple and porridge.
    He is my Netflix, between the tamer one sneaking past to come in the window and a new pair coming to the rose bush beside his he has his work cut out defending his territory.

    I bought a Nikon D3500 last year and find it very good. I think it's a good entry to the world of photography and DSLR.

    Bobby, has been coming in the house daily since early July.

    A new pair hanging around, must be mating up as they're the only robins that tolerate each other round here. Not tame at all.
