I
thought this is of some interest, this fellow appeared at our back porch and
kitchen window on Thursday last week then again yesterday morning while Ian was
watching the marsh tits, (sorry Ian you had gone before I could get round to see
you).
We
have now also had breeding success with the following in the garden;
Siskin
Jay
Magpie
Wood
Pigeon
Song
Thrush
But
still no sign of any young Coal Tits, Nuthatch's, Wrens or Bullfinches (there
are a pair at the feeders daily).
The
Marsh tits are with us all year except for breeding, they stay in the garden
using the feeders and then come the beginning of April they disappear and then
turn up again in early July, this has happen every since we have been here over
10 years, the same seems to happen with the Longtailed Tits, they leave a bit
later and come back later.
The
dipper in the photo spent time feeding on the car I am not sure if he or she
thought it was a patch of water, being blue or just lost and hungry.
