    Welcomed chaffinch

    Not really entitled to any fanfare I know, but for me I'm really pleased to see a pair of chaffinches in my garden. There's a pair that regularly come now and seem to ground-feed beneath the peanut and sunflower seed feeders that I'm hanging below a bird table just now. Never seen them at the...

    What's happened?

    I've had a family of blue tits successfully fledge recently from the box I built; it's the second season it's been used. After the chicks had fledged they stayed around the garden and in the bushes below the box. On the second day I found them together in one of these bushes with the mother...

    Wing Fluttering

    I've been enjoying watching the blue tit parents continuously binging food to the chicks in nest box I made for them; this is the second season the box has been used. The feeding is relentless and I've been fascinated to notice that when both parents arrive with food at the same time, they...

    First occupant in my bird box!

    I made my nest box and placed it in a good spot in May this year. It had an entrance hole of approximately 24mm. It's the first time I've had a box to observe so I'm not sure what to expect, but there has been a blue tit going in and out on a regular basis all this month. (I'd actually noticed...

    Why?

    I spent several years restoring a cottage in the Poitou Charentes region of France. I'd always noticed the great variety of garden birds with interest, (also butterflies) many of which I can't yet identify. There's also the usual species that I get in my garden in Gloucestershire like varieties...

    Why is this?

    Not long ago I finished restoring a cottage in the Poitou Charentes region of France. I'd always noticed the great variety of garden birds with interest, (also butterflies) many of which I can't yet identify. There are also the usual species that I get in my garden in Gloucestershire like the...

    Hello!

    Hello everyone, I've developed my interest in garden birds simply by watching the different species that come to my feeders in my garden over the past 10 years or so. Isn't that how most start!? I'm certainly no expert, but what I've found interesting is how different species seem prevalent at...
