    Gannet Cam on Burhou/Alderney

    Thousands of them! Including one presenting it's rear end to the camera. http://www.teachingthroughnature.co.uk/webcams/gannetcam/ Camera is a bit tempremental, as is the Puffin cam at the moment.

    Strange Blue Tit behaviour

    For the last week or so, a bird (I think it's just the one) has been flying up to various windows at mid-height then flying up the surface to the top of the window, scrabbling with its feet. This is repeated many times and can continue for many minutes. A normally shy bird is almost...

    Twilight feeders

    Which birds do you see feeding at dusk? The Blue Tits are always last here. I suppose it's because they are the smallest and most often bullied that they find it a good time, when all the other birds have settled for the night.

    Time to stop feeding?

    The £2-3 a week I spend on birdfood doesn't bother me but I'm wondering whether to stop or drastically cut down for a couple of months? I think all the garden regulars have had youngsters and they have become self-feeding but the consumption continues at rather a high level, despite plentiful...

    Well worth a look

    I'm beginning to dislike house sparrows

    The colony living in my front hedge had a good breeding season and doubled their number. Now they're dominating all the feeders and they're nasty natured, seeing off any blue tit or finch that dares to start feeding, even from the Niger feeder which the sparrows can't get at and don't eat...

    Should I/We still be feeding?

    I normally feed throughout the year but usually have considerably restricted the quantity by mid-July. This year though, I'm still close to winter levels and it's still all being consumed. Is this good practice though? I'm worrying that the birds are getting too dependent on me and not even...

    Not all fatballs are the same !

    Due to this extended foul weather I was running low on fatballs that I purchased from a petfood store some miles away. I spotted some on sale in Morrisons, so bought a pack of eight, thinking they would solve the problem. Don't know what's in them but feeding virtually ceased when the...

    A sorry specimen of a Blackbird

    This poor chap looks as though he's been scragged and I wonder if he will make it through the Winter with that nearly bare chest? It's not showing any signs of regrowth of down or feathers. I have felt especially sorry for him since, despite his obvious problems, he has been faithfully passing...

    Previously unseen (SE England)

    I was surprised and delighted to see a new bird (several) in the garden today, but I'm not sure what they were. A group of four arrived and mixed with some juvenile blue tits in the bird bath. They were small with long tails which were dark with traces of white. The most prominent feature was...

    Leaky (concrete) Bird Bath

    I thought a lot of enthusiastic bathing was rapidly emptying my (25yo) concrete bird bath, but it appears to be leaking. Any suggestions for materials to repair? As far as I can see, the base of the bowl has first been covered with some fine white mix (a bit like masonry paint) which has then...

    Badger nuisance

    Anyone else 'enjoy' badgers in their garden? They are turning my lawn into a ploughed field and undermining my workshop (adding to the work of several foxes over the years). The foxes have been welcome, but the badgers are abusing my hospitality by making the lawn a hazardous place for me and...

    More vanishing sparrows

    For the past several months I have had a large colony of (presumably Hedge) Sparrows nesting in my front hedge. They have been extremely noticeable at roosting time, even audible above the TV, and take over an hour to settle down. Suddenly - nothing! I spotted one juvenile today but that...
