It
is all but quiet here, filling bird feeders up on a daily basis, so far in the
garden we have had the following birds fledge successfully;
blue
tit
great
tit
robin
dunnock
great spotted woodpecker
chaffinch
goldfinch
greenfinch
(first time for 9 years, 3 juveniles)
blackbird
All
the above have had juveniles at or around the feeders
The
coal tits and nuthatches are back and fore to the feeders taking food away so I
would expect to see their young soon, also the siskins and bullfinches are
coming to feed but to date no young, we have at least 4 pairs of siskin feeding.
There are pairs of both song and mistle thrushes in the garden but again no
young birds seen.
The
crows, jays, magpies and wood pigeons again are always in the garden but again
no young showing yet.
For
a change this morning a fine male pheasant arrived at one of the feeders, nice
to see a different species.
There
was a lot of warbler activity earlier on in the year but now very quiet.
