    We had an oyster catcher overhead a couple of days ago. Lots of water sources around here, but a bit far from any oysters...;)
    They must be starting to breed. They come inland for that. We're about half an hour's drive from the nearest coast.

      Just saw your comment @Butterfly6 - I've only had 'one at a time' nuthatch activity, but they don't venture far from their original sites, and I expect they nest/breed in the nearby NT garden.

      I like the tapping info - brilliant! It's funny you saying that though - I kept calling him/her Woody, because they do remind me of woodpeckers for some reason. We don't often get those visiting either, but you can hear them on quiet days. Plenty of trees around for them.
      The blue tits and dunnocks are getting quite frisky just now. I hope something fancies the little bird box in the tree at the back end of the garden. Unfortunately, I have work needing doing round there, so I may have to be quick, or I'll have to wait a while...
