Heads at a different angle and the left wing slightly open, but it could well be the same bird who likes his spot....not being a twitcher but as I work from home and sit looking out at my garden and the birds at the bird feeders I have come to notice these little things, I even have a few names for my regulars lol..nice pic though

We used to love watching these little birds flying back and forth when we had a meal at the Captains. they had their nests under the eaves and would constantly fly about with food and the babies would poke their heads out of the nests.  We just hoped we didnt get something dropping into our food en route tho!

Yes, that was us a couple of weeks ago, bg, watching the birds at the Captains and wondering if we should be shielding our dinners at the same time!

We also watched little birds scoop down to the swimming pool at Poppy's Bardis Sun Studios, and skim the top of the pool before flying off again.  Someone said they were swallows but they looked like they could be house martins.

I spent quite a lot of time watching the birds doing that at the Tropicana pool last summer and it is most entertaining :)
