20/12/13 I noticed a few new additions at the feeding station today 3 young chickens from the farm feeding on sunflower hearts that had dropped from the feeders, like a Sikh Temple to them with free food available at all times.
The other Collie dog came around the corner onto the Heronry view platform and started barking, then Bob the collie dog came around also, I patted Bob on the head then the other dog moved back to the farm. It may work for others that's if you know which of the 2 dogs is Bob.
The tree surgeons had removed a large Ash by the feeders where I had seen Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in the past.
Trees cleared by the RSPB Woodland walk will provide more light for flowers, no doubt Bluebell and Wood Anemone will benefit.
Sightings on the Staffs and Warks threads.
