Mice! Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Time to clean those bird feeders folks, I'm just beginning to see more activity now in the garden so the feeders are clean and topped up. This one had been empty for a month, this one was suddenly empty today and soggy so a good clean was in order. Clean, topped up and the tits were straight in for the sunflower seeds.

chrisjpainter Posted October 1 Author Report Share Posted October 1 Is anyone around Aurndel perchance? This bird's been seen, apparently. Initially straightforward but...courtship colours in October? And legs that pink? It fits more with Eastern Subspecies GWE's and time of year would say Australia or thereabouts, but I've never seen one coloured like this here and especially not now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 We've had a Grey wagtail around just recently using the pool on next doors garage roof. And it seemed a surprise getting a male Chaffinch in the garden, looked stunning, just hope there making a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted Sunday at 20:22 Report Share Posted Sunday at 20:22 This popped up on FB earlier, obviously a big event in the world of twitching. And I'm happy seeing Bull finch regularly along with the Gold and Greens 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
