Very busy at the bird feeder today!
Had my first juvenile last week. A young blackbird who pestered several male blackbirds for food. None of them seemed to be the parent as they all responded with a peck! Also had our first casualty. I couldn't understand why the female collared dove had left her nest in the birch tree, only to...- Denny Woodthorpe

The Trog is back! I was really pleased this morning to see the Wren for the first time since the really cold spell earlier this year. I was beginning to think that he died. I caught a glimpse of him earlier on and then about ten minutes later he was sat on the fence, singing his little heart...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
Yes, I know I should be happy, but I've been after a Siskin for over two years now, with no luck. It doesn't help when my sister in Norwich phones to tell me that she's had some, along with two foxes! I am happy to see so many Greenfinches again, as they were very few and far between since the...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
I am getting rather envious of some of the visitors you are all getting. I have never been lucky enough to have siskins, even though my garden is adjacent to farmland. Today, however, I had the pied wagtail return for the first time this winter. Oh, there he is again. It is going to be a...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
Where are my birds? It's quite a while since I posted to this site although I have been reading posts. I have a problem - nearly all my garden birds have disappeared! Last winter I had a whole variety of birds and lots of them. This year there are hardly any at all. Today I have seen three...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
I'm rather worried about my tree sparrows. Before the really cold spell just before Christmas. I had 8 or 10 visiting every day. Now there are none! Everything else seems to have survived. I have even seen the wren twice this week and they tend to suffer more than most. I'm amazed at how many...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
Very, very busy today, which is suprising as it is much milder and nearly all the snow has gone. Two garden firsts are a Stock Dove (feeding with 5 woodpigeons) and a female Reed Bunting (identified by this site). Bramblings now number at least three. A pied Wagtail has made my garden its...- Denny Woodthorpe

Very busy at the bird feeder today!
Had a brand new visitor tothe garden today. A Woodcock. It did not stop, just attempted to land and then spooked, but hopefully it might return. Lots and lots of activity. The number of Goldfinches continues to rise (between 15 and 20) and the number of chaffinches has also gone up to over a...- Denny Woodthorpe
