IN THE GARDEN

Masses of young birds in the garden this week including Siskins, Lesser Redpolls, Goldfinches, Blue and Great Tits, House Sparrows and this Great Spotted Woodpecker.

 The Blackbird which raised a brood from a nest on top of a tit nest box, well hidden in honeysuckle on the garage, has made another nest, this time in an open-fronted box on the back of the house in quite an exposed position. 
If young birds do hatch out it could be a bit of a tight squeeze in there!
