    Garden / Yard List 2017

    Gold Surprise! Been quite awhile since I looked at the forum. Reading BrendaA's post about Coal Tit first in her garden. Everyday 3 to 4 Coal Tits visit my garden, particularly in the early morning. My neighbour, across the road from me tells me that Goldcrests frequent his garden. In the 35+...

    Bogey Birds

    If you fancy a trip to the Forest of Dean you'll find plenty of Hawfinches. Check out 'The Gloster Birder' website. Harold.

    Cutest, ugliest bird in the world!

    I like the Muscovy duck. One of my favourite birds. However, I agree it is rather ugly looking. To me it looks like the nose of someone who is a great whisky drinker. Harold. Ps: I love whisky but my nose is nothing like that.

    Tape Luring in New Forest

    You must remember the LSW is very territorial, particularly in the breeding season. The male LSW is the main provider and is a caring mate and parent during the breeding season.

    How to discourage goldfinches

    Most dangerous birds encountered whilst birding

    So far I have never been attacked by a bird. However, I have a passage down the side of my home which has a fence and a thick hedge. Every spring and summer I take my life in my hands as the hedge is full of House Sparrows which use the passage as a super highway. The Sparrows are a noisy and...

    Rutland - advice needed urgently!

    I visited Rutland Water for the first time three weeks ago. It is a magnificent place to go bird watching. Anyway in response to your enquiry, the Egleton (Anglian) Centre is the main visitors centre, which is open all year round, and there is plenty of car parking. The other centre is the...
