    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    Young birds appear to have fledged around us, I have seen 1 of the 3 pairs of bullfinch feeding at least one, greenfinch young totalled around 6 and Long Tailed Tits have also been feeding young today. A male chaffinch seems to be feeding up as if he has young to feed too. Blackcap singing again...

    Very busy at the bird feeder today!

    I have upto 3 pairs of Bullfinch visiting, my greenfinch numbers are down, not as numerous as usual. A jackdaw has found my fatballs now, seen one twice, it's quite funny watching it flap like mad while trying to eat the fatballs. A wren has also been singing really well, which is great news...

    :-O Certainly will, which reminds me, not heard or seen the local 2 for a while. Still waiting for baby... Whilst I'm here what feeders do you reckon would be a good replacement for sunflower hearts. Mine suffer from very poor drainage and I keep losing a lot of food, esp the nuts. Feeders...

    Pheasant, a cracking visitor to the garden! Redpoll is also a bird which I have never had on my feeders. I think I have had 1 flyover, though I can't remember. I have noticed a drop in goldfinches recently, usually have the same sort of numbers as greenfinch, but definitely a lot less in the...

    I managed to catch Great spotted on the fat balls the other morning. A very shy bird, but managed a pic, its a bit ropey as it was early morning and to crank the iso to 6400. The same morning I got 5 bullfinches and my nuthatch feeding as well.

    2 great pieces of news from my garden today, I have heard Willow Tit! It has been a long time since one was around, so hopefully it will return. Also a Green Woodpecker, feeding on the fatballs, couldn't believe my eyes :t:

    A female siskin in today around the hawthorns, a very rare visitor to my garden. Also 2 House Sparrow (another rare visitor) on the fatballs. Bullfinch count is up to 2 pairs again.

    a male sparrowhawk through earlier which made an attempt at the feeders, not sure if it got anything. Nuthatch is still visiting. Difficult to be exact, but probably 5 coal tit. Male and female bullfinch too. Also Moorhen visited today,which I am pretty sure is earlier than the last couple of...

    I had left my feeders empty for a while as they kept filling up with water during the last bad spell of rain we had, filled them back up yesterday and they are being used once again. Plenty of Blue tits around, a good number of youngsters included to. Also a nice party of around 12 Long Tailed...

    Good to see this thread still going strong :t: Been ages since I last popped in. Had a big surprise a few weeks back, popped into the garden late evening for a look around and I heard a Goldcrest, which is not a very regular visitor to my garden at all. Then within seconds I hear and explosion...
