    For the first four months of 2023, I've never had so many garden birds. More winter Chaffinch than previous years but March they moved on. Previously I had visits from a Bullfinch pair once or twice a year but 2023 daily visits and then less so in March. In previous years I only had visits once...

    I had approx. 15 Redwings in my urban back garden a week or so back. Took them 2/3 days to finish off the berries. (I note from my old records I've had max 30). The good thing was the Redwings bought the most birds I've ever had in my garden trees with a several Chaffinch, several Goldfinch & a...

    My last post was the back garden Tawny Owl. It was calling for a few nights this week. We got a mouse that runs along the path early evening. The Dunnocks were fighting, I could see one getting pecked near the eyes. There was another fledgling 2 weeks back.

    In the back garden, it's good observing the male Blackbird. The pigeons are nesting in the front Oak tree and eating some of the food the Blackbird wants. So the Blackbird spread it wings to look big and took on the pigeon who moved out the way. Yesterday the Blackbird was having a sun bath at...

    In the back garden I noticed the Robin was in the pond after the tadpoles. It caught them but I assume it didn't like them as they were left dead at the side. A juvenile Robin took a bath in the pond.

    In the back garden, there's a Magpie nest in our Oak tree, not sure if they fledged. There's a few extra Magpies about already. The Dunnocks have had a second brood, with chicks fledged end of last week. Now feeding them on the lawn.

    I thought a back garden juvenile Great Tit had been using the feeder on its own. There was perhaps another adult feeding another juvenile this weekend. The big surprise was a juvenile Nuthatch late in the evening, feeding on the patio more like a Dunnock or Tit.

    In the back garden, dont think I've ever heard a local Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming before. It was drumming on and off throughout the day. A Chiffchaff has been calling in the distance. Again never heard one before locally but then never listened for one.

    The birds feed up to the back door which is good to see. There was a female Chaffinch sat on our back door step, it seemed taken with the sunshine. With the lockdown good to hear the Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming away. There were two drumming one day. There were a pair in the Oak tree. Also...

    A pair of Bullfinch in the back garden this morning, checking out nesting locations. They tried the holly, then laurel bush and finally they seemed to like the yew tree but that is already taken by the LTTs. A couple squirrel then ran along the fence and off they went.

    Rather than up and out this morning, I sat and looked and listened to the garden. A pair of Great Spotted Woodpecker were in our Oak tree, one was drumming. In the distance I could hear another drumming. Then the pairs of Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird and the Tits. The Tits enjoying one corner of...

    In my back garden the Blue Tit will chase the LTT who are still nesting. Whilst the Robins were feeding, one found a worm and took it to the other. Due to the frosty morning the Mistle Thrush had to use the pond for a bath. The next day it was back in the bird bath when it's waiting mate got...

They get chased off the feeder by the Blue Tits who I think are using the nest box on our house. Saturday we had Blue, Great, Coal tits, LTTs, Mistle Thrush, Goldfinch...

    In my back garden; a pair of Long Tailed Tits are very busy nesting in our yew tree. They make many visits. I hope it's worth it. I already saw the Squirrel having a look. Previous unsuccessful nesting birds in the yew tree were Blackbirds who had Magpies attack and a pair of Bullfinch, who were...
