Thanks @cactus_girl and @strongylodon - I knew I could rely on the great knowledge here! I did some more searching, and found an interesting site...
I found a couple of sites that had pix, and it certainly looks like a lesser whitethroat. They seem to migrate for winter too though- maybe he...
Thanks @cactus_girl - I wasn't getting far with my research! Nothing seemed to fit terribly well. I don't know if we get those here, so I'll have...
They can get through a hole the width of a small finger. We used to get them in a previous house because there was a nice little gap in between...
I think I'll stick to the ones my daughter made last week thanks @Tidemark ! It's a bit like fruit cake though, in that the filling will survive...
I also checked the dahlias I stored in the shed @katecat58, and they're ok. They're in a clear box with some shavings, and all of them seem firm....
A damp, windy start here. O'night low was 8 degrees [9 just now at approx. 825am] with a predicted high of about 10, although the strong winds all...
That's what was throwing me @strongylodon - but in many of the pix I looked at, they had quite pale stomachs, so I assumed it was one of those...
I took my camera out with me a few days ago, to get some pix of the frosty foliage everywhere [ATTACH][ATTACH]Up by the duckpond [ATTACH]...
One of the little willow warblers we had earlier this year has been a daily visitor to the feeders. I still couldn't decide if it was a warbler or...
A very overcast, breezy start, but unbelievably mild. O'night low was 6 degrees, which is more like we'd expect daytime temps to be at this time...
The newer sets of lights are certainly much brighter than the old ones @ViewAhead , but if you can get ones which are 'soft white' or similar,...
Light enough now to see there's no frost, but the o'night low was zero, so there may have been a little frost, or ice as it was wet overnight too....
Sorry - yes I'll edit that!
Multi coloured lights are terrible for anyone with sensory problems @Notwellygood, which is why I only have white lights, and they're on static....
If there's black caps, they aren't dunnocks- they look the same whether male or female. The birds in my frosty pic are male house sparrows. :smile:
I think we did that quite quickly @Liriodendron! :biggrin: We had a good laugh making them. We did an Elton one as well as a Freddie.
I saw the poster's original threads about wanting to get a nursery etc, but it needs to be clarified properly when starting a thread. This one...
I heard about those yesterday on the radio @Tidemark. They'd got sideswiped on their travels. Hope they're ok. It's a hard life being a little bird!
I've just seen this thread and I wonder if this stuff is worth trying. I have the stripey one on the bottom half of the large single pane on my...
