In a Somerset Garden (1 Viewer)

Please stop.... Although I did have House Martin a few weeks ago, it really isn't right racing on like this when some people have postage stamp sized gardens with almost no birds in them...

(!!)

8. Brown hare

...And there's foxes nesting in the copse behind the cottage... wee fox cubs are gamboling in the field!

I agree, to a certain degree. My garden is fairly large, by modern standards but I don't get a lot of the birds Quercus has seen. Nor the mammals either.

It is still nice to read what you have seen though, Quercus.:t:

I find that garden watching dies a death in late spring, and doesn't really revive until August when a bit of post breeding dispersal and early autumn migration can start to bring rewards. One thing I would recommend keeping an ear open for at the moment (I know I am) is Crossbills flying over calling; there seem to be a few on the move at the moment.
