    Field fare! Cumbria

    I've never seen a Field fare before, but had one, just one, visit my Northampton garden yesterday, returning today for several visits. Unfortunately all my holly and pyracantha berries have gone now. I've put half an apple and some raisins out if they will do, but have no experience of feeding...

    RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch UK 26,27 Jan

    I haven't been having anything like the normal number of individuals or species in my garden this winter, compared to my heady Birdforum days of the past. And very surprisingly hardly any visitors at all during the spell of snow and ice. I decided to give yesterday (Saturday) a miss for the...

    Bill

    Hello from another old exbeeber Hello everybody, I haven't been on here for quite a while. I was a regular, following on from the actual beeb, coming on with Brian, Bill, Sue, Baz etc. and enjoyed posting regularly until soon after my mother died in 2008. I must have suffered from some kind of...

    Blackbird V Wife

    I know the feeling! My Blackbirds are just the same. It was particularly messy when I'd put down compost and bark on my 'woodland style' patch to try and make it look authentic. The bark always ended up on the lawn. I'd tidy up, but you'll know what happened the next day, and the next, so I gave...

    So Sorry

    I remember you too Thelma, and want to send you my sympathy and thoughts. It must be very difficult for you this year. I haven't been very good at coming on here for the last couple of years, and must surely have missed seeing old chums' sad news. It was by chance that I came on this evening...

    Starlings anyone?

    What lovely shots Wendy, they really do convey the feeding frenzy. There were some seasons, a few years back when I had similar numbers of Starlings descend upon my garden for a few mad minutes, but I haven't had any for quite some time. Last winter, being so cold and snowy, I prepared the usual...

    Arrrrgh!!!

    Hello Baz. I do know the feeling, but you haven't got a bad record shot in the end, at least it's bright. I never have perfect luck with Sparrowhawks, but must be thankful that I see them at all. The first one that I ever saw in my garden was busily plucking away at a collared dove with plenty...

    I'm still here

    I'm glad you're doing okay Maurice, together with lots of goldies. I had one the other week, but it's not like it used to be with them. Perhaps more will arrive as the autumn bounty disappears and they rely on us a bit more. Best Wishes from Renée.

    March Weather

    Glorious sunshine all day, together with deep blue skies for most most of the time, here in Northampton. I'd forgotten what it was like! With the crows crowing in the yonder it had a lovely atmosphere. :t:

    Bins to keep in the car

    I totally endorse your suggestion Keith, and am feeling guilty for not thinking of mentioning this myself earlier. I haven't got a branch near me, but often pop into a Lidl on the way to somewhere else to see what's what. I spotted these cheap bins and bought a pair to keep in the kitchen, as I...

    Here I am again!

    I'll just add my best wishes to you Bill. So sorry you've had problems, but glad they're more tolerable now. I've come to this thread a bit late because I haven't been on here properly myself these days (not ill, just not quite myself), but that had its advantages in not really missing you if...

    blackcaps, a question.

    Hello Rose, just adding my little news here. My first Blackcap of this season was a Male in the middle of December, doing the perfect thing and foraging on my mahonia. Well almost perfect, the mahonia was past its best for a photo even if I'd got the camera in time. Then no Blackcaps appeared...
