What is that bird at the feeder?

From a quick look - a Blue Tit was at the right-hand feeder. And at the left, I think it was a Coal Tit. Both brief glances, tho.

I mean the one in my pic? That big brown bird at the feeder. And what is this bird?

Whoa! What IS that??!

The smaller one on the right is a Great Tit.

Sure am foxed by the big brown one, tho... Maybe the Cam Report will say??

Maybe an owl?  ???

Maybe an owl?  ???

I wondered that too, MAK - but then wondered if it could actually be mammalian... like a rat?? Trust Donna to do this to us!! I cannot make it out. Not many day-flying owls around here, except the Short-eared - and even then, I have not heard of them going to seed feeders. Still... Will see if I can ask some of my FB birder friends here... sure is a puzzlement.

Just sent that image to my FB birders - let's see what we get!

Another person thinks it could be a rat - but the most useful comment comes from my friend Jim (an excellent Irish birder) in Cork. He thinks it could be a pheasant with its head turned aside. Makes sense, as I have seen pheasants in the background.

I have discounted the possibility of a Cheshire Cat...

I think Pheasant also Bobbie, (not that I know any better)!

Thanks Kris G!!

Thank you for posting the video on Lady.  She surely is a most special and amazing osprey.

Thanks Donna! That was beautiful to watch full screen on my big girl laptop!

Thanks indeed! I dare not even hope that this fine Lady might return!

Can hardly think about whether the legendary Lady of Lowes will return again this year! But they are getting ready for her.
