    Strange Goldfinch Worcestershire today

    These images were not taken by me but were posted on a local facebook page. Orange on the face not red and streaking on the back and flanks. Escaped cage bird perhaps? Jackie

    Newbie-friendly birdwatching resources?

    BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) has great resources for recording what you have seen and also ID and information pages. For books you can't go wrong with the Collins Bird Guide. A bit more expensive than some books perhaps but as an ID guide it's first rate.

    What Bird stuff did you get for Christmas?

    I got a camera bird box. I actually received it and set it up in November, but except to check it was working I hadn't switched it on. Then Christmas morning I switched it on and the bottom was covered in bird poo. Theres a Blue Tit roosting in it. Bodes well for the spring.

    Squirrel proof suet feeder and squirrel proof sunflower seed feeder.

    I've found that the domed baffles work well if sited away from other features that the squirrels can jump from. They hit the dome and just slide off.

    Elephant or Small Elephant Hawkmoth Friday Worcestershire

    I found either a Small Elephant or Elephant Hawkmoth fluttering about in the road as I was cycling on Friday afternoon. Quiet country lane with pastureland and wheat growing in surrounding fields. A couple of gardens nearby. I was so bothered about getting it in to the hedge before it got run...

    I’ve got 6 of the little blighters they seem to love Chilli and chasing them away lasts for about 3 minute. I’ve decided to just put less food out.
