    Listening to a Chiffchaff in the garden this morning, the third one i've heard so far this year. We have a regular Magpie at the moment, he spends an awful lot of time on the feeder and then in the bird bath at the front of the house. The usual Blue Tits/Starlings/Robin/Sparrows and...

    Great first post! :) Watching a Sparrowhawk in action is quite something isn't it! The perils of feeding the garden birds though, they make prime targets!

    Lovely surprise this morning when I opened the curtains to see a Heron just flying up out of the garden, i'd clearly disturbed it. A first for me, i've seen them flying overhead before. Nobody around here has a pond so I can only assume it had stopped for a rest?!!

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    There's been an increase in visits from Collared Doves, Woodpigeons, Goldfinch and Starlings this past week, good to see, I was beginning to wonder if the Blue & Great Tits had somehow scared everything off!

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    Larry you get quite an array of birds, I don't think i've had more than ten species in a day and that's a rare occasion :) Seeing the Goldfinches on the feeders is always a joy, unfortunately i've only had Siskins visit a couple of time and not for a few years now. Lovely, there is one that...

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    I had the usual birds early doors before I left for work, Blue Tits, Blackbirds, our Robin, Great Tits and a handful of Sparrows, the snow didn't put any of them off! Over the past couple of days I've spotted the first Wren and Dunnock in the garden this year. Thanks Dave! They've always been...

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    I haven't posted in quite an age, it's nice to see some old faces when reading back over the last couple of pages of the thread! My garden birds are doing well this year. Spotted early this morning Great and Blue Tits, a Robin, who pretty much lives in the bush next to the feeder every day, a...

    I haven't posted in a while but it's been quiet in the garden till this past few days when the gardens been full of juvenile birds. Tuesday night after a downpour around half a dozen Great & Blue Tit flew in with adults in tow. They've been back a few times. There's been lots of young...

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    Happy to say my Swifts appeared back over the house yesterday, only 3 at the moment and later than ever but it's good to finally have them back. No sign of any young birds in the garden yet but there's plenty of activity from all the usual visitors. Great photos! We used to have a regular but...

    My garden's filled with House Sparrows at the moment, they actually line up on the fence waiting their turn on the feeder. Other than that there is just the regular visitors. The Redpoll that appeared a few weeks back never came back, at least not when I was around!

    Opened the curtains this morning to find the Sparrowhawk on the lawn in the front garden right outside the windows - of course I startled it so it didn't hang around very long - but a great start to the day. Think i'll have to start peeking round the curtains before I open them in future! :t:

    Thanks Jeff! We have snow this morning - still coming down thick and fast. Plenty of birds already - Goldfinch, Coal and Blue Tits, Blackbirds, Starlings, Sparrows, Collared Doves and Dunnocks. Need to go clear the snow off the feeders and defrost the water dish now!

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    I haven't posted in a while - life catching up with me and just not getting the chance for proper garden watching! So a quick update - plenty of activity in and around the garden pretty much through the whole day (from what i've seen). Lots of Blackbirds and House Sparrows around. Great, Blue...
