    Is it me?!!

    Good evening everyone, Yes, I'm here again. Hopefully for a lot longer this time. I was called to identify this bird by the family this morning, and i thought it was a dunnock, then I looked again, and something didn't look quite right. Maybe it was my eyes, anyway, is it just that it is a...

    Good News Bad News

    Hi Pie, Merry Christmas to you all, No, I must confess, I don't miss my hospital days. I have very fond memories of my time on the wards, especially when I was a midwife, but I'm afraid the stress got too much for me and I had to give it up.B (:B (:

    I'm a wee bit surprised,

    Hi Bill, I'm tagging on to the end too, but up here we have the usual number of blackies compared to other years, and I've yet to see a fieldfare or redwing, so if anyone has any spare...... just send them up here pleeeaassee!!!

    Good News Bad News

    Hi Pie, How well I remember having to work through the holidays in the hospital in years gone by. I hope it isn't too hectic, and you can still enjoy yourself. I must confess I ALWAYS hated nightshifts, I kept thinking I was missing out on what was going on (I was nosey even then). Good luck...

    Hi all

Don't fret about the Buzzard, I expect you'll find plenty of chances to see them and heaer them, now...

    Swan Rescue

    Oh I've just been catching up, and I'm so sad to hear the outcome of all your brave efforts Kezza. Still, at least you were able to help the youngster keep safe from harm. My brother was driving along in Surrey a few years ago, when he passed a fox lying down in the middle of the road (it was...

    A Mr. Cardinal Update

    Well done Lydia, I'm so pleased that you've managed to get Mr Cardinal ready for release. Who would've thought the outcome would be so great when he first arrived. I must say, I thought you had another lodger for life! Give him a fond farewell and a wave from all of us this side of the pond. I...

    Disappearing Balls

    A Half Year highlight anyone?

    Great thread Pam, I know we all get excited about the unusual birds that we see from time to time, but like you, my highlight of the half year would be our first visit from starlings and a house sparrow. I know they are common birds although less common in places, but it's a first for our...

    Nest Box Anxiety

    Oh Pie, I do know what you mean. I'm fully aware that nature is a wonderful thing, and well able to take care of itself if left alone. I watch and wait in anticipation every year hoping that we'll be fortunate enough to have 'tenants' in our 2 nest boxes. One was only put up last year and I...

    Young Visitors

    Thanks for the ID. I had wondered if it might be a starling, but we only had our first starlings visit us a few weeks ago. There were up to 8 of them and they looked like they were feeding families, now this single starling pops in. It only came the once, couldn't get on the fat cake, and flew...

    Young Visitors

    Hi everyone, I just thought I'd share with you three the our young visitors to our garden over the last week. The siskin and the pied wagtail I know, but what is the third please? We were really chuffed cos the pied wagtail parents brought this little one along with them (we'd not seen any of...
