Nice indeed :t:Three very nice birds indeed. Wonder what will be next!
Mine tolerates Birds, until the birds actually threatened her. Here's a good example. I had a red-tailed hawk go after her once. She chased off. It was a long time ago.
Garden Mega today! - was looking out the front window when saw two
25) Feral Pigeon fly over
Nice indeed :t:
It gets harder to get garden/yard lifers if you've done too much birding ... in more recent years my only UK one was Corncrake, and can't realistically expect anything else unfortunately now. Wallcreeper was nearly a W Europe tick from the parents garden in France a few years back (saw it from nearby earlier in the day), same bird though.
Still no Siskins nor Redpolls in this neck of the woods
I saw my lifer white-winged crossbills yesterday, though not in the garden!I remember (now) three Lifers from this garden: Honey Buzzard, Arctic Skua and White-winged Crossbill.
26) Sparrowhawk
... well not quite, but one of each on consecutive days ...
Mabe garden list:
3rd Feb
27) Goldcrest one very active individual working the back garden hedge in the rain
4th Feb
28) Firecrest one calling and then seen briefly (no bins) in the small front garden conifer
later, whilst going out to hang the washing;
