    Weather For October 2013

    It's still mild, even warm out & the leaves aren't turning quickly here. Birds seem not to be eating the food much at present. I think there is to much natural food around, or, they are still moulting. A bit damp today, light mizzle in the air & misty with it, low cloud.

    Bird feeder collapsed.

    Well I guess it doesn't owe me anything, we've had it for a very long time, it was originally my old rotary clothes line, modified by OH into a pole with arms to hang feeders on.

    Goldfinches & Buddleia

    I have just seen several Goldfinches on our Buddleia eating the seeds from the dead flower heads. I didn't know they would do this. Usually OH has pruned it to within an inch of it's trunk & there are no flower heads left. Has anyone else seen Goldfinches or other birds doing this?

    Nest Identification Please

    Saw this nest in our Magnolia tree after all the leaves fell. I think it could be Chaffinch, but not sure. Can any one identify it for me please? I didn't know the nest was there & never saw Chaffinch parents birds in that tree. Thank you in advance.
