For several weeks I have shown just one species in different poses, but today I share many different species, most of which I photographed when I first started blogging again, after my broken wrists had mended. I walked to the nearest field, where there is an overgrown evergreen Pyrancantha or Firethorn hedge, which provides plenty of cover for small birds, sparrows finches and robins, and they love the red, orange, or yellow berries, however when I took these photos, it was earlier in the year, so there were no berries on the branches but plenty of insects, around, and on the shrub.

you have a real gift with your camera of capturing the most awesome photos of birds and butterflies that to me are worthy of National Geographic. these are awesome. my dad had one of these bushes that grew on the front of our house, the birds would come and eat every berry until the bush was bare. on the way out of the yard they left red stains on everything in their path. plus trimming it was killer with those long thorns.
Butterflies and dragonflies are beautiful. Thanks for the great photos.
Wow, you photos are just amazing. Beautiful birds, butterflies and dragonflies. I love the colorful berries, such a pretty sight. A gorgeous nature post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Wow! Love your pictures!
What a nice seies!
Hello Sonjia,
As always, very beautiful photos.
The butterflies are very pretty.
It's amazing to see the butterflies and dragonflies up close and in such detail! Beautiful photos! Take care!
Those are fabulous photos of some of my favourite subjects, Sonjia - particularly the dragonflies and butterflies, and the dragonfly with yellow and black abdomen and blue eyes is one that I do not recognise, but suspect that it is one of the pincertail species - wonderful!

Your photos are great.
Beautiful birds, butterflies and dragonflies.
Firethorn is a great plant, this is great for the birds that eat its berries.
Greetings Irma
I would agree it's a pyracantha...we had them in Tucson. Gorgeous photos...and perfect bird portraits.
Thanks for linking in this week!
I enjoyed the beautiful closeups of butterflies and dragonflies. Well done!

Your skill as a photographer is on display again, Sonjia. What a great job you have done here. I am not familiar with some of these European species and I will have fun going through my books to see how many I can identify. Take good care. With my best wishes. David
Beautiful images butterflies, dragonflies and the birds, they are brought with the camera Sonjia.
The berries seem to be a delicious treat for birds, and this is absolutely a great series of birds and other species of flies from your excellent photography. I loved the details of the macro shots! Have a beautiful week ahead
Wow! Magnificent photos of Mother's Nature's gifts ~ Xo

They are breathtaking!
What a joy this post is ...
Full of wonderful photographs, a delight to see.
Thank you.
All the best Jan
The berries look good to eat. Great shots of beautiful critters. Have a wonderful week.
Lovely clear shots. My concern around here (Southern England) is the lack of insects which reduces the number of birds I see. I'm glad your massages etc are proving effective.
your images are amazing, quite crystal clear and colorful!! it is so nice to see all of the details we usually miss on both the dragonflies and butterflies!! you have quite a nice variety!!
and thank you for your help in identifying my ugly duckling!!
Hello Sonjia, You have returned to the fold with fire, wonderful selection of pictures. Well done and take care.
Mike.
Es un gran y bello reportaje, me ha encantado. Besos.
You see so many more varieties of bird life and insects in your garden than I do. I met a photographer the other day and told her about you but I do not know how to get her to see your blog. I am seeing her again today as we are going for a walk together. She seems to like my company as much as i like hers. I hope you have decided to continue your massage treatments despite the expense.
Hello!!! Very beautiful pictures... Happy week
