If I throw bread out for the birds we get at least 10 in the garden

This little bird would just seem to hang in mid-air at times, suspended by invisible wires. You'll see it in the middle picture.

Gosh, he is tiny, but the body still looks too big for those wings. And the wing feathers are see-through, you can see the branch and sky through them. That is a great shot!

Jailbird?

Yeah its the norwegian common jailbird (female)

This was too much fun not to share. This crow was determined to get the eagle's attention. He came by making a racket and the eagle ignored it.
