Boxing Day Birds

 In the UK the day after Christmas Day is called Boxing Day. It originates  from when the rich gave boxes of gifts (probably unwanted gifts they got for Christmas) to the poor and to the servants to the rich and famous of the time who had to work on Christmas Day and were given boxes of presents also probably the unwanted gifts.

Anyway Boxing Day US style is simply called the Day after Christmas Day, well it's still Boxing Day to me. It is nice and sunny and I took a few pictures before the light got too harsh. Not a bad haul of birds.
