    A pair of Robins have turned up today, I had been thinking where were they hiding. Blackbirds, Chaffinches and Greenies and all the tits in plenty of numbers. Sparrows and Dunnocks are hovering up leftovers with the Doves and Pidgeons.

    Evening frenzy at the moment. Lovely sun shinning through the garden really is beginning to bring everything to life, including the birds. The Housesparrows are beginning to get a bit agressive with each other as no doubt hormones are running wild and pairing up begins. Great Tits have made...

    Nice pics earlybird. I don't know what bird that is but it is obviously adapt to swim in water, especially if there was a current as you say. I realy like that first pic, though weather is gloomy, still an amazing scene, that water looks really clear

    For me it is like winter has suddenly lifted and spring is almost here. More and more bird songs are being heard, particulary the Chaffinch and Song Thrush nearby. Behaviour seems more pairing up and establishing territories rather than just eating for survival now. The Tits seem to be...
