    Magpie chick

    I have been observing a pair of magpies from my flat for some time, and noticed earlier this year that they were building a nest in a cherry blossom tree just by the side of the road. I don't have my own garden so can't feed the birds as I'd like, but since late May I started leaving out some...

    Where have the blue tits gone?

    That is a shame, I'd almost forgotten about the May weather this year. It's like they've just disappeared. I'd also been watching the magpies going in and out of their nest (in a tree across the road from me). I'm not sure how many chicks they had, but I've seen a magpie with a distinctive...

    Providing water for birds in summer

    Hi Kits, thanks for your reply. I had thought of sticking a light plastic bowl down with something, but you're right, I think being by the window is not ideal. The reason I thought of putting something by my window is that I'd likely need permission through agency / factors to place a bird...

    Providing water for birds in summer

    Hello everyone 👋, this is my first post. I wondered if anyone might have advice about water sources for birds, particularly in the summer months? I live in an apartment block (not ground level) and have thought about attaching a shallow bowl of water on my windowsill for any little birds. Is...
