    Something is digging up our lawn

    Hi everyone, For the past few weeks we have been waking up to find holes in our lawn. Some are quite big and others are small and whatever it is went quite mad last night and dug everywhere. My husband thinks it is squirrels but we have had them for years so why have they only just started...

    One for the Robin experts

    I have been feeding a Robin all through the Winter from a feeder on the kitchen window. Some may recall that a few weeks ago he brought his partner to meet me and I have enjoyed watching him coming to feed her and then both of them backwards and forwards coming to feed their chicks. Although...

    Meet the girlfriend

    Hi all, I have a robin that has been feeding all Winter from a feeder on my kitchen window. About three weeks ago he stopped coming, although he was still around but didn't seem to need the food in my feeder, then last week he turned up with a partner and has started feeding her from my feeder...

    Suspect Greenfinch

    I don't get too many Greenfinch but over the weekend I noticed one had turned up and that he seemed to be bigger than I remembered them. I was very busy with visitors so wasn't able to spend too much time looking out of the window. However, once they had gone I returned to the window to have...

    They're back

    At last my Coal Tits have come back after disappearing at the end of May, only a few at the moment but at least they are back on the scene. I also have a Robin that I am begining to think maybe Bob the Robin that I got to come onto my window sill to feed during the Winter and disappeared in the...

    Goldfinches

    A couple of months ago much to my delight we started to get visits from a pair of Goldfinches and hoped that they would stay around and maybe bring their chicks to feed as well. I am thrilled because this week they and another pair have brought their chicks who are absolutely gorgeous and seem...

    Its a mystery

    Since coming back from holiday, two weeks ago now, I have not seen any of my chaffinches, blue tits, coal tits and great tits apart from one that looks very tatty and a paler shade than normal. The blackbirds are still around and I have loads of young sparrows more than I have seen for some...

    Sung to sleep

    I have just got back from celebrating our Wedding Anniversary having a lovely meal in a Country Hotel and staying the night there. The trouble was I could not get to sleep and I had a load of rubbish going through my head and at 3.30am I was still awake when I heard a bird singing. I didn't...

    Baby Penguin

    Hi all, I am so upset about the baby Penguin that was stolen from the zoo on the Isle of Wight. The keepers say that the next 36 hours are crucial. Only the parents can feed it and it will be living off its body fat if it has not already died from shock. How can people do this sort of thing...

    Mealworm dilemma

    Hi everyone, :hi: During the very cold spell that we had the other week, I bought some mealworms for the first time just to see if I got any takers or not. The only bird that was interested was the robin. (no surprise there) I gradually kept moving the dish a little further to the house...

    Unusual for a chaffinch or not?

    Hi all, I always assumed that chaffinch were ground feeders, but yesterday I saw a male that had mastered the art of flying onto the perch of my seedfeeder for a couple of seconds and grabbing what he could, then flying into the nearby tree. He did this several times and as I have never seen...

    A mad jackdaw

    The other day I was in my garden when I heard a banging sound and looked to see a jackdaw throwing itself against a neighbours bedroom window, it did it three times before it flew onto the roof and then flew off. The curtains were closed so it wasn't as if it had seen anything inside the room...
