    Hi Pam, I must admit I am concerned about one of our young Goldfinches(there are 2 now) as it appears to eat from dawn to dusk. It was sitting on a just filled tray of feed this morning and scaring everyone else off. If it carries on it will have all the aerodynamics of a brick!!! Do birds know...

    Thanks Jabberwocky ,I really appreciate the photos but are they in disguise as they appear to be wearing false beard and moustache :-O Here`s a real cutie from our garden, a juvenile pied wagtail. Three appeared yesterday. ps Insomnia!!

    Please help. What is this bird? Song included..

    Almost sounds like a Guinea fowl to me and they do like perching in trees. Is there anyone who keeps poultry etc. in your vicinity?? See what you think.http://niemannross.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=60

    Now you're showing off!! Just kidding lucky you!!:t: I love Goldcrests but have never seen one really well, as they are always flitting about in trees. Is number 4 a juv. Goldfinch as so far I am yet to see one?

    Did your squirrel visit YOU today?

    We have Red Squirrels visiting daily. The most we have seen at any one time are 3 but they seem to chase each other away. They tend to feed from our squirrel feeders, although one is often seen hanging off the bird feeder!
