Saw a Skua recently trying to get at young gulls sat over a bait ball but the adult birds pinged it and everything scattered. First skua for me, but no idea what one 

Arctic Skuas have been seen off the Cleveland coast of late.

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.

Does anything eat the wheat?? If I put bog standard bird seed out it just sits there.

 

Yes they love it TBH - Nuthatch - robin - dunnock - sparrows - yellowhammers - partridges - blackbirds - bullfinch - grey tits - long tailed tits -  TBH lots have a go at it 

I filled the buckets up last about 4 weeks ago and some are close to empty

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

A Redwing reported in forest of dean yesterday,
